Created attachment 7009 [details] Two-page PDF. The first aa's, the second does not. The attached PDF contains two pages. When rendered with this command line: gs -q -dQUIET -dBATCH -dNOPROMPT -dNOPAUSE -dNOPSICC -dDisableFAPI -sDEVICE=jpeg -dJPEGQ=100 -r150x150 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dDOINTERPOLATE -dMaxBitmap=512000000 -sOutputFile=%d-aa.jpg aa.pdf The first page text renders antialiased, but the second page text is aliased. If I pass -dTextAlphaBits=1 then both pages are aliased. So it appears that something is causing gs to turn off antialiasing of the second page.
I looked and the second page uses transparency. We already have an open bug for AA and transparency. Page 1 MediaBox: [ 612 792 ] Page 2 MediaBox: [ 612 792 ] Page uses transparency features *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 689044 ***
