Description Bearcat M. Sandor 2006-08-13 06:32:56 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 4.0.3 
OS:                Linux

Some pdfs that i use on a regular basis have graphics that are displayed in the background, behind the text. In kpdf they are rendered in front of the text, obscuring it.  

I don't know if this is a problem only with the latest version or wether it is pre-existing.  I would suspect the pdf, except that it renders just fine in Adobe Acrobat reader on windows.   I am unable to test it on adobe acrobat for linux as my system is 64-bit without multi-lib support.

I have attached a screen-shot which has been reduced for file transfer. If anyone wants the full size-screen shot at 1440x900 i will happily provide it.

If there is any other information i can provide, please let me know.

I will be posting a shot from Adobe on Monday for comparison so you can see how it should render.

Thank you for all your work on a fine product.

An example of the incorrect rendering

This is an example of the graphics that are supposed to be watermarks
displaying as foreground and opaque.

Having the pdf would help a lot in trying to fix the problem.

Albert,
Yeah, i figured as much and that may be a bit of a problem.

I'll see what i can do. This is a PDF that i payed for via rpgdrivethru.com. I don't know if i am authorized to redistribute it, but I'll check.

In anycase, i would feel more comfortable emailing it to people individually. I'll check with the company on Monday.
