Hi Vladimir, this was discussed here: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2007-February/002756.html this is indeed a bug of Acrobat Reader from the very beginning and remained there at least until versionn 4.05. Older pdftex had a workaround for this bug, which was removed in later versions as well (since 1.40 IIRC). If you run your test file with an old pdftex, for example 0.14h, the pdf displays correctly with AR4 as well. HTH, Thanh On Thu, May 31, 2007 at 07:16:59PM -0700, Vladimir Volovich wrote:

Hi!

i'm reporting a problem (found not by me). consider this document:

===================================== \documentclass{article} \usepackage{color} \begin{document}

\makebox[2cm][r]{c}\hspace{-2cm}ab

\makebox[2cm][r]{c}\hspace{-2cm}a\textcolor{red}{b}

\end{document} =====================================

when processed with pdflatex, the generated PDF file is rendered differently by Acrobat Reader 4 and 7 - see the attached files acro4.png and acro7.png.

Acrobat 4's rendering seems to be buggy, but i wonder whether it is a real bug in Acrobat 4 or it is caused by a buggy PDF generated by pdftex?

Best, v.
