Package: hylafax-client
Version: 1:4.2.1-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just came across something potentially very nasty.  sendfax apparently
does not deal correctly with sending transparency in a PDF.  Faxing the
attached PDF will show a black box instead of the graphic.  Beware that
xpdf will also show this PDF incorrectly.  Acrobat Reader on Windows
shows it fine so I assume acroread will do too on Linux.

Regards

Rolf

PS: Please advise me if sendfax is indeed the wrong package for 
reporting this behaviour.  Looking through the dependencies, I did not 
find a more appropriate package.
