Problem PDF

Example PDF made by save as from Inkscape.  Looks fine in PDF viewers.  In LODraw
the gradient/pattern extends to the limits of the image.  3.5.0b2 does exactly the same thing.

This is a specific issue extracted from bug 43806

New gradient test (PDF)

Two types of bugs are mixed in provided test PDF (gradient.pdf): clipping and opacity.
Here is the new test files: gradient_test4.svg and gradient_test4.pdf
They are free from opacity bugs (and from big black rectangles as well).

Clipping patch (experimental)

Clipping must be performed without modifying of source objects.
But there is no such feature in LibreOffice Draw.
I have tried to implement modifying clipping.
But I was faced with two problems:
1. Radial gradients rendered by poppler as 256 polygons with 400 points.
That is bad for performance, but when clip is applied, situation becomes even worse.
2. Function basegfx::tools::clipPolyPolygonOnPolyPolygon() behaves badly in border cases. With my test file it fails 2 times: with radial gradient clipping and with pattern fill clipping.
Here is my experimental patch file.
Maybe it will be useful for someone.

Comment 14 kitaets 2016-05-20 12:32:06 UTC
Is it really PDF import to LO Draw or may be PDF export? Could somebody please explain the bug step by step as in Bug 54924 which has been marked as duplicate?
Comment 15 Heiko Tietze 2016-05-22 07:35:13 UTC
(In reply to kitaets from comment #14)
> Is it really PDF import to LO Draw or may be PDF export? 

When I create a rectangle in Draw, fill it with a gradient from black to white, export to pdf and reopen the pdf, the object is rasterized (same as for svg in tdf#64464). Looking into the raw pdf file there is nothing obviously wrong.

I'm not saying the export filter has no bugs, but do we really need two tickets? Having a large list to go through might be discouraging. Anyway, feel free to reactivate the duplicate if you think it's necessary (in this case set blocks 99746 and see as well 44731 please).

same like 5.4.0.3, no improvement or change.
Comment 29 Roman Kuznetsov 2018-06-23 11:23:24 UTC
in LO Draw 6.1 beta 2

Problem PDF opens with black background and wrong gradients

but

Source SVG from Problem PDF opens very fine 

still repro
Comment 30 V Stuart Foote 2018-06-23 16:01:29 UTC
For 6.2 the pdfium based filter is now handling both import and insert, and the pdfium rendering to bitmap on canvas correctly renders the linear, radial and pattern fills of attachment 55501 [details] or attachment 98038 [details]

But break of the inserted PDF, or Import (e.g. opening) of the PDF with PDFium, is not handling clip of the gradient fills well.

Should this and similar import/break bugs be closed and restated against the new PDFium filter? 

@Miklos, Ashod, Kendy
Comment 31 Miklos Vajna 2018-06-25 06:35:16 UTC
I would let Ashod / Kendy decide when the pdfium import is ready to replace the poppler one.
Comment 32 paulystefan 2018-08-23 13:00:28 UTC
svg import  improved but not perfect in LO 6.1.0.3

black circles incomplete.


pdf-import same buggy like before.
Comment 33 paulystefan 2018-08-23 13:01:37 UTC
blue circles incomplete not black
Comment 34 paulystefan 2019-08-23 20:03:03 UTC
svg import in 6.3.0.4 circles are incomplete, but in export pdf all is ok.
so nearly 50% is here ok. 

import of problem pdfs are nearly like bugs 43806 and 44729

import gradient.svg in Lo 6.3.0.4 and export pdf

svg import to LO 6.3.0.4 circles are incomplete.
but pdf export the circles are ok and the result is perfect in my view.

so svg import with pdf export is ok.

problem pdf import failed like before in 5.x and 6.x
