I've just installed 8.53 using a standard ./configure, make, make install... no flags set. The first PDF I tested was the "Women in Transportation.pdf" which is included as part of the InDesign CS 1 examples. I've used this pdf as a test on 8.14 and up and this is the first release that breaks it...
Created attachment 1766 [details] This is an example PDF, have a look at the multimedia links
Looks okay to me. What specifically is wrong?
Sorry, should have given more information... my fault... If I try this: gs -sDEVICE=png16m -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dBATCH -dNOPROMPT -dNOPAUSE - r144 -q -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 -sOutputFile="test.png" -f "Women in Transportation.pdf" It renders wrong (the little movie and sound icons are broken) but if I take the -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 out, or set it to 1 then all seems fine... Now, I know the documentation sais this might happen, but earlier versions of gs used to handle this file correctly... Hope this helps!
I agree that the movie (purple film reel) icons and sound (yellowish speaker) icons are rendered strangely. It is clearly an interaction with the transparency and the 'trick' used to render graphics with anti-aliasing.
