It is not necessary to explain it. Now, there are some tools to do it, but they are far of being good enough. For instance, pdfsync makes some work, but it has a lot of problems. Of instance, the output is different with or without pdfsync. I have read in TUGboat that, perhaps in the near future, pdfsync can be integrated en pdftex itself and improved. I request to do it as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Juan L.

The display is the same here in Acrobat 5 - 8 so I think they would have fixed it when it's a bug since Acrobat 5. Hmm but OK, when I open the result with GSview besides the GS bug, the color tones are correctly be displayed. So close this bug report again, when you are sure that pdftex follows here exactly the PDF-specification. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Uwe Stöhr (stoehr) Date: 2007-03-02 22:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3168 > It's a bug in AR; No! Acrobat is correct: I created this image with Inkscape 0.45 and exported it the as PDF. I designed e.g. the green as light green. And Acrobat 7 and 8 shows this exactly as designed while the pdftex result has wrong color tones, see the attached screenshots. (Ghostscript is btw. not able to render the PDF-image correctly - I reported this to the GS people who confirmed it.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2007-03-02 10:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 You don't say it, but I see the same problem in AR7 - but only there. It's a bug in AR; try kpdf or ghostscript instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=741&group_id=106

Patches item #871, was opened at 2007-09-30 10:56 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=871&group_id=106 Category: User interaction Group: v1.40.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jerome LAURENS (jlaurens) Assigned to: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Summary: Synchronization: pdfsync.sty embedded (1) Initial Comment: To the administrator, please remove the preceding patch submission The purpose is to implement some extensions very useful for synchronization, both forwards and backwards. Synchronization is the ability for a text editor and a pdf viewer to work together, displaying the same thing at the same time. For example, a text editor can ask a pdf viewer to display and outline the character in the output corresponding to the character under the cursor. Attached is a zip file containing diff against version 1.40.4, explanations and demonstrations in synchronize.readme/synchronize+frames.pdf PS: I have problems with my connection ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=871&group_id=106
