Title:
Cannot save/copy images properly from evince
Status in Evince:
Expired
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Using latest Hardy, on many PDFs I cannot save or copy the correct
image (that is to say, almost all of the ones I've tried). If PDF
image-saving support is so buggy, it should be temporarily disabled in
the final Hardy release instead that kept there as a half-working
feature -- at least imho.
In the attached test-case (even if quite ugly, I just took some random
images lying there on my hard disk), try copying/saving the images you
see into e.g. OpenOffice.org Writer. There are a lot of issues:
* Transparent PNGs are rendered with a black background.
* If you try to select the image on the background (the one with the flag),
you probably get any of the other images saved instead. For example, try in the
upper-right corner of the picture, where you see the blue sky. No image is
stacked above that area, neither a transparent one.
* Then there's the transparence issue: try copying the image in space labeled
as "A". You don't get the chest, but the image of the zealot. Transparence
should be taken in account and images with alpha 255 on a particular point
(where you do your right click) ignored in the z-stack -- users expect the
chest to be copied, because that's what they see.
Probably at least part of this gets fixed by updating poppler to 0.8.0 for
Hardy. See also GNOME bug #310008.
I can attach other test-cases if needed, I should be able to find easily
something under a CC license.
