[poppler] Pdf-transparency.

[Lukasz Kwestarz]

Ok I have to use gs operator to make my box transparency. But when I put this (part of code in bold):


<</Type /Page
/Contents 31 0 R
/Parent 30 0 R
/Resources <<
/ExtGState <<
/AlphaOn 25 0 R
>>
/ProcSet [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI]
/Font <<
/F4 4 0 R
>>
/Shading <<
/Sh2 2 0 R
/Sh5 5 0 R
>>
/XObject <<
>>
>>
/MediaBox [0 0 595. 842.]
>>
endobj



in the pdf file the colors are darker than before. I have a couple object that do not use the gs operator
and they are darker than before. That is why I wrote that i did not have to use the gs. I have to use it when i want to have a transparency, byt when i put /ExtGState... in pdf file the colors are darker. I use the shading in this pdf too. Maybe that is the reason?? Maybe soneone have the pdf with transparency and other objects??

Anyone know the reason??

    I want to implement transparency in Pdf file, but i have to do it manual, without using ang software.

          Why?



    I try to use /ExtGState but it applays to everything on the page. Is there anyone who can help my in this. 
     

          An ExtGState is attached to a page because it's a resource for that page - just like a font or colorspace.   HOWEVER, like a font, it's only used when you apply the relevant operator.



    This is the Page object with Resources and Alpha definitions.


          Looks fine.



    When I want to applay the alpha i use gs operator.


           Correct.



    The worst think is that i do not have to use gs operator,

          Yes, you have to!  How else will the viewer know when to use apply the state?
