Summary0002052: SVG break colors and characters in PDF
DescriptionThe colors and the characters of a PDF are broken, when the scribus file contains imported SVG-files. Although the printouts are fine (both color and characters), the files look strange, when opened with acrobat reader 7.0 in linux. Color management does'nt help! I've activated adobes icc-profiles. Without colormanagement it looks even more strange!

i've attached testfiles to reproduce the testcase.
Steps To Reproduce1) Create a new document.
2) Insert a seagreen filled rectangle.
3) Insert some text.
4) Export as PDF for printer with colormanagement (gives test_without_svg.pdf).
5) Insert a SVG graphic now.
6) Export as PDF for printer with colormanagement (gives test_with_svg.pdf).
7) Open both PDF files with acrobat 7.0 in linux tiled horizontally.
8) Compare the color of the rectangle --> for test_with_svg.pdf the seagreen now looks like neon poisson green, bit for test_without_svg.pdf everything looks great.
9) Compare the characters --> for test_with_svg.pdf the characers don't look sharp, but aliased while the characters in test_without_svg.pdf look great again.
TagsNo tags attached.

 This a bug in Reader 7 on Linux, which we know about and have reported.

Tested with acroread 5.0.10, acro 7 on windows an d acro reader 5.1 on wine. These display correctly.

The issue is when a PDF has transparency, it makes certain colors display wrong.

 I've tested my files on windows also now, and althouhg it looks slightly better, the testfile with the svg looks still wrongly. Especially the seagreen looks much darker. But the characters are looking aliased too (i've examples, where in it's mutch worse, but a can't publish these slides).

Tested with Acrobat 6.0 on Windows XP.

Are you sure, it is only Acrobats problem really? Why the characters are borked then?

Itested this again and with Acro 5 and 6 as well as opening it in Photoshop.

1) I do not see text issues anywhere.

2) The shades of green export perfectly from what i can tell here with mulitple viewers.

3) The flourescent green in Acro 7 is no question an Acro bug, which I posted recently about.

Thanks again for a clear test case thought.
