gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=brosjyrea.pdf -dBATCH brosjyre.pdf The logo on the bottom of first page is missing in the resulting pdf (view original file in adobe reader 9+ to see.) Reports from irc says that it works in x11 but not pdfwrite, also acrobat 7/8 removes the logo the same way - only works in acrobat 9 (but this is acceptable behaviour)
Created attachment 5946 [details] that test file, attached here Just the pdf attached here directly. Reproduced with 8.70 and also a recent svn HEAD. The files renders alright with the png16m device and x11, but have some graphics missing with pdfwrite, and cause x11alpha to die. Acroread 9 on linux shows the missing graphics at the bottom right corner correctly, but xpdf also has trouble with it.
Created attachment 5953 [details] foo8.pdf.bz2 Simplified sample file. ps2pdf generates sample file that has the logo repeated many times. This happens because the pattern doesn't account for '0.1 0 0 0.1 0 0 cm' inserted by GS at the beginning of the stream. Commenting out this line restores normal rendering. Surprisingly, commenting out '/s8 6 0 R' in foo8.pdf also results in generation of a good-looking file although /s8 is not used anywhere.
This has been resolved by the recent work on transparency and Patterns inside Form XObjects. I'm not sure which revision exactly, but the recently released version 9.0 should work correctly.
