Bug 289844 – app-text/evince fails to handle pdf transparency and gradients correctly due to missing newer cairo

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paulo J. Matos 2009-10-20 09:52:40 UTC]

Hi, I have a pdf diagram which was handled correctly by evince previous versions but after an update, the diagram is not displayed properly. Check it for yourself with adobe acrobat (or any other working pdf viewer) and evince 2.26.

Btw, I am still unsure if this is a problem with evince or something below it...

Reproducible: Always

If you cannot reproduce, let me know so I can try to provide you with more information.

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2009-11-07 18:42:52 UTC]

Seems solved for me with evince-2.28

Probably due to newer poppler.

[Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2009-11-13 09:37:57 UTC]

Well, not, the problem is still valid :-(, but I failed to see where was the problem before, sorry.

I have sent this to upstream:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601782

[Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2009-11-14 15:31:20 UTC]

Per https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601782#c4

this is a poppler problem fixed in 0.12 but it also needs cairo >=1.9.4

The poppler in portage also seems to have "cairo output" disabled.

@loki_val is that related to this in any way?

[Comment 10 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-02-10 23:30:47 UTC]

What's the status of this with =app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3 ?

So this is no longer a poppler problem. It needs newer cairo, so reassigning to cairo maintainer.

[Comment 12 Pacho Ramos 2010-09-23 19:48:48 UTC]

cairo-1.10 is already in the tree, then, this could be probably closed

[Comment 13 Pacho Ramos 2010-10-17 19:21:52 UTC]

Fixed in 2.32
