Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-12
Severity: important
When printing PDF files with transparent object, the transparency is
broken due to the pdftops conversion in the cups printing process.
To add some detail, I am printing from a Mac OS X client to a Debian
Cups-server via the automatic printer detection. The PDF File seems to
be passed to the cups-server, which converts the PDF-file to PS by
utilizing xdpf-utils's pdftops. Although, xdpf is able to process
transparency since version 3.01 and does display the pdf file
correctly, pdftops fails.
I wasn't quite sure to where to report this bug (xpf-utils?). But, I
decided to send it to cupsys because the error affects my cups
printserver.
By the way, pdf2ps and acroread -toPostScript process correct PS-files
retaining the transparency.

reassign 348061 xpdf
fixed 348061 3.02-9
reassign 284734 xpdf
fixed 284734 3.02-9
thanks
xpdf had recenlt refactored. Some crashes due to the floating point
have been fixed via patch. All CMap related issues are off-loaded to
poppler libraries and data. xpdf-utils is no longer build. It is dummy
package pointing to poppler-utils.
Since poppler is quite current and mostly fixed for these old bugs, I am
closing these old bugs instead of reassigning to them. Reassigning will
cause extra works without productive result.
