MKIV strange results in Adobe Reader
Hello, I recently made a SimpleSlides presentation with MKIV (2011.08.27 13:24). It looks ok on numerous PDF readers including Okular, Google Docs, Sumatra PDF. Whenever I open it on Adobe Reader, the results are rather puzzling: 1) The fifth page background is not black but grey, also some later pages have grey background 2) The RGB and CMYK swatch colours are all messed up The picture on page four has been intentionally corrupted with a hex editor and then opened and saved again in Gimp to remove the errors in the file. You can view the source here: https://pi-xi.net/share/colorlecture.tex and the finished PDF here: https://pi-xi.net/share/colorlecture.pdf The only modifications I've made to the simpleslides-s-BottomSquares.tex is replacing the background color, contrast color and variant color with different values ([s=.0], [r=.8,g=.2,b=.2], [s=.15]). I would appreciate if someone could explain if there are bugs in my tex sources, in MKIV or in the Adobe Reader – and in any case how can I fix the erroneous output on Adobe Reader to match it on Sumatra, Google Docs, etc. Best regards, Otso Helenius

Do you use transparencies? On pages where they are used, a different color rendered seems to kick in (in acrobat).

You can try to add \startluacode function backends.codeinjections.rgbtransparencygroup() local d = lpdf.dictionary { S = lpdf.constant("Transparency"), CS = lpdf.constant("DeviceRGB"), I = true } lpdf.registerpagefinalizer(function() lpdf.addtopageattributes("Group",d) end) end \stopluacode \def\pngTransparencyHack{\ctxlua{backends.codeinjections.rgbtransparencygroup()}} \pngTranparencyHack This is what I use here for my RGB based graphics. Anyhow, as the name of the macro says: it's not more than a (RGB only) hack. Regards, Peter
Hi, I have now investigated the color errors in Adobe Reader further. I produced a test PDF without simpleslides with MKIV (mtx-context | current version: 2011.09.10 12:55). Here is the source: \language[fi] \setupcolors[rgb] \usemodule[metafun] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=black] \startreusableMPgraphic{variympyrat} vardef ColorCircle (expr method, factor, ca, cb, cc) = save u, p ; path p ; p := fullcircle shifted (1/4,0); image (fill p rotated 90 withcolor transparent(method,factor,ca); fill p rotated 210 withcolor transparent(method,factor,cb); fill p rotated 330 withcolor transparent(method,factor,cc)) enddef; draw ColorCircle ("normal", 1, cyan, magenta, yellow) xsized 6cm; draw ColorCircle ("darken", .85, cyan, magenta, yellow) xsized 6cm; currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-6cm); draw ColorCircle ("exclusion", 1, red, green, blue) xsized 6cm; \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \startcolor[white] \title{metafun} \includeMPgraphic{variympyrat} \title{svg} \externalfigure[variympyrat.svg] \title{png} \externalfigure[variympyrat.png] \stoptext and here is the output: https://pi-xi.net/share/context_reader_test.png https://pi-xi.net/share/context_reader_test.pdf You can also see the original files used in the test here: https://pi-xi.net/share/variympyrat.png https://pi-xi.net/share/variympyrat.svg The gray background effect happens randomly even with only using svg images straight from inkscape. When using png images, I noticed it happens more often when there are multiple layers in the png. With metafun graphics, the image colors are messed up in addition to the gray background. I would like to know: a) How to avoid it with metafun, png AND svg graphics? b) What is the cause (Adobe reader bugs? Errors in my source? Erroneous image files? ConTeXt bug?)
