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. (attachments comming right up)
Created attachment 36111 [details] overlay with opacity
Created attachment 36112 [details] overlay using alpha-channel transparency (works)
Created attachment 36113 [details] reference screenshot, this is how it should look like
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.
But evince renders it properly and is poppler based as well?
Evince uses a different rendering backend in Poppler.
