Created attachment 20228 [details] Igalia logo with tagline The VectorDevices.htm#PDFWRITE documentation states: " -dHaveTransparency=boolean With CompatibilityLevel ≥ 1.4 it specifies whether the target viewer can handle PDF 1.4 transparency objects. If not, transparency objects are converted into plain images. Default value is true. " However, if I run the following command against a 1.4 PDF with some transparent objects the result is completely rasterized 1.4 PDF output: $ gs -dQUIET -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE \ -dHaveTransparency=false -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 \ -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \ -sOutputFile=out.pdf igalia-tagline_-_CMYK.pdf The documentation suggests that only the transparent objects should be rasterized, however, the whole document is rasterized. I'd love this working as explained in the documentation but, if not possible, at least the documentation should be corrected.
