pdf file poorly rendered by evince (2.75 KB, application/pdf)
2005-02-09 17:50 UTC, Pablo Rodríguez 		Details

Description Pablo Rodríguez 2005-02-08 12:54:40 UTC 
gpdf and ggv are able to show much better vector graphics.

I have read in ggv's preferences that this technique is called antialiasing.

Wouldn't it be possible to improve it in evince?

Could you post an exemple of a file that renders poorly in evince ?
Comment 2 Pablo Rodríguez 2005-02-09 17:26:29 UTC 
I have realized that evince renders vector graphics antialiased in ps and eps
files, but it doesn't do it in pdf files. Contrary to gpdf, that renders bitmap
graphics poorly, evince renders bitmaps right.

Wouldn't be a way to fix both (bitmaps in gpdf and vectors in evince)?

I'm using version 0.1.3, I couldn't install version 0.1.4.

Comment 5 Vincent Noel 2005-02-09 17:59:31 UTC 
The file renders antialiased with ggv, gpdf and acroread, but poorly in evince
and xpdf.
Comment 6 Martin Kretzschmar 2005-02-15 20:32:14 UTC 
Unless anyone has a better idea, vector graphics will be antialiased only
if/when evince uses the cairo backend for xpdf.

Note that this bug is made obvious by thumbnailing.
See attachment #38259 [details] : the thumbnail on the right looks, well, not so good :-(
