It seems there is still a problem with evince or poppler. The recent fix to poppler has fixed the problem for PS but not for PDF.
In Bug #199916, dominik suggests downloading http://png2pdf.sourceforge.net/png2pdf.pdf and looking at "Figure 7: Image without interpolation". With evince (version 2.26.1 with poppler 0.10.5), the image is nevertheless interpolated. (Use Acrobat Reader for example to see the correct display of the figure.) As a second example, the following is very similar to BioStatMatt's previous example for PS: The PDF code below specifies an image that should be displayed without interpolation. Copy and paste this code into a text editor and save as "test.pdf," then open it with evince. In spite of the "/Interpolate false" instruction against doing so, evince (version 2.26.1 with poppler 0.10.5) will display with interpolation. %PDF-1.4 1 0 obj << /Producer (bmeps) >> endobj 2 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 3 0 R >> endobj 3 0 obj << /Type /Pages /Count 1 /Kids [ 4 0 R ] >> endobj 4 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 3 0 R /MediaBox [ 0 0 8 8 ] /Resources << /ProcSet [ /PDF /ImageC ] /XObject 6 0 R >> /Contents 5 0 R >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Length 30 >> stream q 8 0 0 8 0 0 cm /X7 Do Q endstream endobj 6 0 obj << /X7 7 0 R >> endobj 7 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 8 /Height 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /BitsPerComponent 8 /Interpolate false /Length 71 /Filter [ /ASCII85Decode /FlateDecode ] >> stream GhQY8@/,e6JD`YZ65'K"s8Sib_--f#Ul]`Y(C(!JLAqkps,kQW$_g1c$GrV>*'$.C ~> endstream endobj xref 0 8 0000000000 65535 f 0000000010 00000 n 0000000054 00000 n 0000000109 00000 n 0000000177 00000 n 0000000332 00000 n 0000000416 00000 n 0000000452 00000 n trailer << /Size 8 /Info 1 0 R /Root 2 0 R >> startxref 739 %%EOF ** Attachment added: "test.pdf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30883589/test.pdf -- evince automatically interpolates embedded PostScript and PDF images https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
