Hey list,
I've noticed an unfortunate visual difference in my document's colours
when rendered with Evince 2.32.0 where they come out as expected (or
even with Zathura) against Adobe Reader 9.5.7.
Rendered with Evince 2.32.0:
https://www.avaneya.com/temp/evince.png
Rendered with Adobe Reader 9.5.7:
https://www.avaneya.com/temp/reader.png
Note how the latter is overly saturated in the red. Does anyone have any
clues as to why this might happen and what I might do to make it appear
as intended in Adobe Reader? I wonder if this might have something to do
with different renderer's different gamma correction?
It's kind of funny that this could happen because I thought the whole
point of PDFs was that they were truly portable.

Convince Adobe to fix it or find a way to render that page without prerequisites for the bug to show up. I'm not sure about your particular case, but I have seen the problem multiple times, most often when combined with transparency on the same page.

You know Peter, I must admit. ConTeXt has made me rather cynical at times. I don't know how many times I've tried a snippet of this or that, only to have it do exactly what I hadn't intended. Having said that, every now and then I am blown away when something I never expected to actually get working, gets working. Thank you so much, that worked beautifully. Both Evince (poppler based) and AR look identical now. I stuck it in my environment file. I wonder if there is a safer way of doing this than via "inline asm", so to speak.

Adobe Reader needs a special object in the page for it to handle included pdfs or pngs with transparency correctly on the first page (search for pdftex and "page groups".) pdfTeX tries to fix this automagically for years (1.40.6, I think) by synthesizing this object, but Hans rejects any automagic solution for LuaTeX (since it may conflict with mechanisms of ConTeXt) and ConTeXt instead tries to do the right thing. Here it obviously fails.

It's known that Adobe needs it. It's not really in the specs as per ISO3200:2008. Maybe the next version will be clearer there.

My impression with such features is that they relate to pdf as container format for e.g. illustrator where such info about grouping is important, but I might be wrong. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 35+ messages in thread

At some point it can become an option (or semi automatic) but the problem is that we don't know in advance if we operate in rgb or cmyk. I can imagine that when we have enabled cmyk and disabled rgb or reverse, it can be added automatically but even then users must make sure that all images are in the right colorspace as well.

AdobeReader *is* the reference pdf-viewer. Every pdf for general use should be checked at least with the latest AdobeReader under windows, which is currently one of the best pdf viewer. For the (pdf/lua)TeX community, all the viewer based on xpdf/poppler are also important, because (pdf/lua)TeX have a consistent part of code from them, so a bug in xpdf/poppler can be also a bug in (pdf/lua)Tex. Other viewers are useful (mupdf which is now 1.0rc1 , sumatra pdf for windows, just to list a fews) but not as the previous ones. -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 35+ messages in thread

I use acrobat (prof) as reference viewer from the editor and okular (kde windows version) on a second screen as handy constantly open one; I tried a few more but stuck to these two.

For MFLua I need to show 2 pages with thousand of MP points and look on how the curves of the glyph join together. With ctrl-r and magnification of 6400% AdobeReader is the only one that is able to show the pdf without need to take an italian coffe at every refresh. When I need to typeset black&white or not-critical-colors document, emacs+xpdf+ two_rows_of_workspace_in_gnome is ok --- no need another monitor: the bottom row has the editor, the top rows has the viewer. Maybe a wide 16:9 screen and the latest Emacs (which can render a pdf into a buffer) are also ok: just split an emacs windows vertically in two, left side is the editor, right side the viewer. I use the shell buffer, so another split is needed. Moving between buffers is not agile but the advantage is to minimize the use of the mouse. Anyway with a laptop it's not a problem to have another monitor, and I use this configuration if I'm under Windows,especially with the sumatra pdf or the ReaderX. For all the rest (critical colors, interactive features, flash into pdf..) the latest AcrobatProfessional is a must. -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 35+ messages in thread

I think a better approach would be to consider Adobe's PDF specification as reference material, but not implementations of it that we cannot audit that may or may not have done so correctly. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com [-- Attachment #1.2: This is a digitally signed message part --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 198 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 485 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 35+ messages in thread
