Test2.pdf is a postscript file, not pdf. So it will be rendered by ghostscript when viewed with evince.
The problem is caused by libreoffice. The "gradient" is actually a series of shaded rectangles. In fact the rectangles are not even correctly aligned. There is a tiny gap between each one. Cairo (used by evince) has a problem with showing lines between adjacent fills due to antialiasing. There is no easy way to fix this. And the small gaps between the rectangles caused by libreoffice will make the problem worse. The best solution is for libreoffice to use PDF gradients to draw the shading. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164233 Title: [Upstream] [hardy] Opening pdf with smooth gradient in Evince displays striped To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/164233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
