------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Dec 15 19:42:48 +0000 2007 ------- A Writer document may have a background image as part of the page style. Such an image can appear as a "watermark" if the image is mostly transparent. When text frames, which are otherwise invisible, overlap colored areas of the background image, they produce visible rendering artifacts in an exported PDF. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open the sample document 2) Export to PDF 3) View the PDF in Adobe Reader Notes: * The sample document has a simple black PNG image (75% transparent) as the background. This is just for demonstration, to make the problem easier to see. * There is a rendering problem in the Writer Page preview as well: the 50% white frame (middle bottom row) does not appear initially, but only after the area is covered by another window and then re-exposed. * The line-artifacts are much more difficult to see using the free evince PDF reader, but they are still present. I haven't tested any other PDF readers. Workarounds: * Instead of a transparent background image, use an opaque image. In an image-editor, create a white background layer under the transparent image, then 'flatten' and export to an opaque image to be used as the Writer background. * Or, use frames that have a color-fill (e.g. white), at 100% transparency --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
