Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2681:
-----------------------------------------
{quote}I'm still pondering whether I could use PDFBox to find the CMYK colors
that make up the shading and convert them to RGB first, and how I would do
that, since that algorithm might work more accurately.{quote} If you do that,
you'd have to modify the functions too, i.e. replace the arrays with 4 elements
with arrays with 3 elements.

> Key: PDFBOX-2681
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2681
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Rendering
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: Tested on OS X 10.10, Java 1.6 / 1.8

> In the attached gradient-test-photo.pdf, there's a photo with a gradient on
> top of it. The colors in the gradient are CMYK. When rasterizing this test
> file with PDFBox 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT 20150209, the resulting image's gradient is
> different from the original and the colors of the photo under the gradient
> look significantly different vs the display in Adobe tools like Illustrator
> or other compliant PDF readers.
> Issues:
> - Color hue is wrong. Is this a CMYK to RGB issue?
> - Opacity of gradient is wrong and much different. The jpg from Illustrator
> shows much more of the photo without a gradient over it.
> Without a photo, there's still a difference, but it's much harder to see.
> Example in gradient-test.pdf where the same gradient is drawn over a grey
> rectangle.
> If I convert the PDF to RGB in Illustrator first and rasterize the RGB PDF
> with PDFBox, the result is nearly identical between Illustrator and PDFBox so
> this seems like a CMYK conversion issue in both the general color conversion
> and maybe how the gradient is calculated.
