Bugs item #4326, was opened at 2011-01-28 12:27 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Matthis Thorade (thorade) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: pdf image changes colour on inclusion Category: PDF inclusion Group: v1.40.8 Resolution: None Initial Comment: Hi, my problem is more or less identical to #741 (filed in 2007) but the problem persists in 2011, at least for me. As almost four years have passed since and all programs involved are now available as newer versions, I filed a new issue. Steps to reproduce: - Create input.svg with Inkscape 0.48 - Create input.pdf with "inkscape.exe --file="input.svg" --export-area-drawing --export-dpi=360 --export-pdf="input.pdf" " - Include input.pdf into some LaTeX document - Compile using pdflatex 1.40.11 from stable MiKTeX 2.9 on Win7 64bit - Open output.pdf and input.pdf with Adobe Reader X - Color in output.pdf is darker and less bright I searched google and found some (maybe) related posts: http://www.mrunix.de/forums/showthread.php?t=62241 http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2429 http://texblog.net/latex-archive/graphics/adobe-reader-wrong-color/ One suggested solution was to use a different pdf-Viewer. Using gsview or Evince the colors in output.pdf look fine; but if input.pdf and output.pdf look different in Adobe Reader X, then the only explanation I see is that pdfTeX changed something !? (And I won't try to persuade my Prof to use GSview...) Antoher suggested soultion (at least for png files) was to change the color mode from RGB to an indexed palette, but I have not yet tried this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=4326&group_id=106

[pdftex-Bugs][4325] Input lines spread across synctex file in MiKTeX-pdfTeX 2.9.3962 (1.40.11)

Bugs item #4325, was opened at 2011-01-10 00:45 Status: Closed Priority: 3 Submitted By: Maverick Woo (maverickwoo) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Input lines spread across synctex file in MiKTeX-pdfTeX 2.9.3962 (1.40.11) Category: synctex Group: None Resolution: Invalid Initial Comment: I am using MiKTeX-pdfTeX 2.9.3962 (1.40.11). On one of my larger documents, it generates a synctex file in which the "Input:" lines are spread across the file, i.e., the "Input:" lines do not form a contiguous block at the beginning of the synctex file before the "Content:" line. This breaks the synctex parser in both SumatraPDF and TeXworks. Currently I use latexmk to fix the synctex file automatically after each build. The only thing needed is to move all the "Input:" lines to the front. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Maverick Woo (maverickwoo) Date: 2011-01-11 22:26 Message: Oops, in the process of trying to see if I can fix the code myself I realize I misread the code's comment about input records in _synctex_scan_preamble. Now I see that the current parser already expects "Input:" lines between sheets and that means the v1 spec already allows this. In other words I shouldn't have thought that this is a pdftex problem. Sorry. (Just want to set the record straight here and say sorry.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Maverick Woo (maverickwoo) Date: 2011-01-11 00:59 Message: I see. I was under the impression that anything that can't be parsed by Jerome's C library is outside of the synctex version 1 specification. In particular, the _synctex_scan_preamble function seems to suggest that all "Input:" lines should appear between "SyncTeX Version:" and "Output:". That was why I decided to file the bug here. Thanks for the clarification. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jerome LAURENS (jlaurens) Date: 2011-01-11 00:29 Message: This is not a pdftex problem, this is a synctex problem. The parser breaks in that situation. As the synctex parser code is shared by both sumatrapdf and texworks, both will fail in synchronizing. This will be fixed in next version of the synctex library. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Maverick Woo (maverickwoo) Date: 2011-01-10 20:50 Message: Attached is a minimal example that yields a synctex file with an "Input:" line after the "Content:" line. I compiled it with: pdflatex -synctex=1 main ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2011-01-10 18:09 Message: please provide a test file to reproduce the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=4325&group_id=106
