Bug Description

When the attached inkscape drawing is saved as PDF, it displays differently in acroread, okular, evince, and xpdf; see the attached screendump. acroread is the only one that looks like the inkscape window.

The attached zipfile contains the original svg drawing, the drawing saved in pdf, and a screendump showing it rendered 4 different ways.

This is inkscape 0.47 on Ubuntu karmic.

Reproduced with
- Xpdf 3.02:
  the PDF file from the attached archive (created with cairo 1.8.8)
  renders with incorrect opaque radial gradients

Not reproduced with
- Apple's Preview.app (Mac OS X 10.5.8):
  PDF file (created with cairo 1.8.8) renders correctly
- Evince 2.30.3 (poppler 0.16.6, cairo 1.10.2):
  PDF file (created with cairo 1.8.8) renders correctly
- Inkscape 0.48.2 and 0.48+devel r10626:
  PDF file (created with cairo 1.8.8) correctly on-canvas
  thumbnail preview on import is incorrect
- Xpdf 3.02:
  new PDF file created from the SVG file with
  Inkscape (poppler 0.16.6, cairo 1.10.2) renders correctly

Probably the same (or a related) issue as
Bug #538749 “opaque radial gradients don't export to pdf correctly”

Proposing to close as 'Invalid' in Inkscape -> the issue seems to have been fixed upstream (in poppler and/or cairo).

Not reproduced on current Ubuntu 14.04 (VM, 64bit; host: OS X 10.7.5): the originally exported PDF file included in the zip archive renders correctly in current Evince and Okular (same as in Inkscape).

Closing as 'Invalid' (not an Inkscape bug, fixed upstream).

Changed in inkscape:
