Bugs item #2100, was opened at 2008-10-09 00:18 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Stefan Becuwe (sbecuwe) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: colors on page influenced by included pdf image Category: PDF inclusion >Group: v1.40.8 Resolution: None Initial Comment: I've got a problem with defined colors on a page when I include a pdf image. The original file (regression-org.pdf) is included on the second page: blue and red on that page are different from the blue and red on the other pages. However, if I convert the included pdf image to ps via pdftops and back to pdf via pstopdf (regression.pdf), there's no problem as shown on the last page. Is this a bug in pdftex, or am I using an "incorrectly" generated pdf image file, since a double conversion seems to produce the correct output? (I'm using texlive's 2008 pdftex 1.40.9) Best regards Stefan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2008-10-10 10:56 Message: I don't think the problem here is transparency (I don't find a /Group), but ICC, as regression-org.pdf uses an /ICCbased colorspace. Oh, and I get the same colours here with 1.40.9 and AR8 on Linux. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Heiko Oberdiek (oberdiek) Date: 2008-10-10 10:13 Message: It's a known problem of later AR versions if transparency is involved. Then AR seems to be using a different method for displaying the page and colors may change. PostScript doesn't support transparency, thus converting to PS and back to PDF gets rid of the transparency. Tested with: * AR7/Linux, AR8/Linux: wrong displayed colors * AR5/Linux: correct colors * xpdf3.00: correct colors * gs8.54: correct colors, but warnings for second page: CS/cs (setcolorspace) operand not a name: [/ICCBased -dict-] * gs8.62: fails on page two with /unknownerror. Yours sincerely Heiko <oberdiek(a)uni-freiburg.de> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=2100&group_id=106
