The PDF does not contain a gradient. It contains a series 2 point high filled rectangles designed to look like a gradient. Evince has trouble with white seams showing between adjacent fills due to antialiasing.
The best solution would be if openoffice used a PDF gradient. The bug where evince rendered gradients using lots of thin rectangles with visible seams was fixed a long time ago. Evince now uses cairo gradients and will render PDF linear gradients fine without any stripes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164233 Title: [Upstream] [hardy] Opening pdf with smooth gradient in Evince displays striped To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/164233/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
