Comment 1 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-27 20:23:59 UTC 
can you please provide ( web link ) a pdf that has this?

> can you please provide ( web link ) a pdf that has this?

Yes of course. I created an example PDF files named OK.PDF and FALSE.PDF

http://www.volny.cz/machytka/bugs/

PDF files was created in OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 and SXD files are on the link
below too.
Comment 3 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-28 05:31:31 UTC 
the FALSE.pdf opened fine for me.  Is the box supposed to just be black?
( I didn't get an error )

Could you provide emerge -av gimp so we can see what use flags you compiled with?

Thanks!
Comment 4 Josef Machytka 2005-07-28 11:24:47 UTC 
(In reply to comment #3)
...

Yes, the box is black in both files, but in FALSE.PDF is used transparent GIF.

The same problem occurs in windows version of gimp, I have tested versions 2.2.8
and 2.2.7 ...
Comment 5 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-06 07:09:19 UTC 
This also works fine for me with 2.2.8-r1.
Comment 6 Josef Machytka 2005-11-26 14:56:57 UTC 
I was needed to reinstall my computer, the problem still occurs :( OK.pdf
is opened normal and the FALSE.pdf fails.

Comment 7 Josef Machytka 2005-11-26 16:05:08 UTC 
The same problem with masked gimp 2.2.9.
Comment 8 Henrik Brix Andersen 2006-01-22 16:10:10 UTC 
Both PDF files opens correctly with current GIMP CVS HEAD (media-gfx/gimp-9999) and USE=pdf here.
Comment 9 Josef Machytka 2006-02-05 14:14:58 UTC 
(In reply to comment #8)

Yes! Thanks! The Gimp CVS HEAD relly works fine! The FALSE.PDF opens correctly. I will use this cvs head.

Thanks.

This is fixed in media-gfx/gimp-2.3.9. Thank you for reporting this.
Comment 11 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2006-09-13 11:11:40 UTC 
Seems to be fixed upstream
