Description Karsten König 2009-08-12 23:24:48 UTC
Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Copied the important bits over from openSUSE bugreport, confirmed on 4.3 from me
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530310


I created an image with Inkscape that includes pixel data and vector objects.
Making a vector object semi transparent using the "opacity" option of inkscape
creates trouble, using the alpha-channel to do so works.

All of the created pdf documents display just fine using:

- evince
- adobe acrobat reader


opacity creates transparency for the whole vector object including filling and
the lines.

going the alpha-channel way allows for individual control of transparency for
filling and the lines.

in the reference image for opacity also the black outline of the green object
is somewhat transparent (looks gray). in the alpha-channel image only the green
filling is transparent, the green outline has RGBA data of (0,255,0,1) and is
therefore fully saturated / not transparent. The filling has something like
(0,255,0,0.5) and is therefore semitransparent.

All the other parts of the image are just pixel-data and were imported to
inkscape as a png screenshot.

Hi,

Okular does not load and render PDF files by itself, but uses a library called Poppler. Given the bug is actually in the Poppler library, you should please report it to Poppler's bug tracking system, at https://bugs.freedesktop.org, "poppler" product.

Thanks.

Done. There's a related bug from 2007. I added this.
Comment 6 Karsten König 2009-08-13 00:57:44 UTC
But evince renders it properly and is poppler based as well?
Comment 7 Pino Toscano 2009-08-13 01:00:46 UTC
Evince uses a different rendering backend in Poppler.
