Converting Office2007_excel_table.xps to pdf using the svn trunk as so: ./gxps -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE Office2007_excel_table.xps I'll attach the file and a actual/expected screenshot.
Created attachment 5989 [details] problem xps file, obtained from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/xps/xpssampdoc.mspx
Created attachment 5990 [details] screen shot of actual (left) & expected (ms xps viewer, right)
Seems to display correctly when using the pdf output device though.
When run through current code the output PDF file renders correctly with Ghostscript, MuPDF and another PDF interpreter. With Acrobat 4 it renders incorrectly (because Acrobat 4 doesn't handle transparency) With later versions, Acrobat crashes. I presume this to be a bug in Acrobat and I suspect its related to transparency.
