           Summary: Use PostScript patterns in tilingPatternFill
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ajohnson at redneon.com


tilingPatternFill in PSOutputDev uses Type 3 fonts to output a PDF tiling
pattern. This is fine for PS Level 1 but for PS Level 2 or higher it is more
optimal to use PostScript patterns.

One problem with using Type 3 fonts for PDF tiling patterns is if the PS is
converted back to PDF, some PDF viewers (including acroead) do not display the
patterns.
