Hello,
I have a small problem with inkscape 0.46: I have object1 that is above object2. Object1 has some kind of transparency since object2 should also seen through this transparency. This does work well in inkscape and the pdf output (via cairo) is also well.
But only adobe reader and foxit reader seem to support pdf transparency, all the poppler based readers like okular, evince, sumatrapdf do not show the transparency. Thus, it is not a problem of inkscape but (maybe) poppler.
You can see test files here: svg in zip file: http://www.siteupload.de/dl.php?fid=946719 pdf file: http://www.siteupload.de/dl.php?fid=946716
But I also think that if you want to print this pdf file in a printing shop, there could be problems.
My question: Is there a possibility to make inkscape to render a kind of fake transparency (that looks the same as real transpareny with an alpha channel) but that has no alpha channel (adjusting the other color channels of course). So, the exported pdf (or eps/ps that do not support transparency at all) could have the fake transparency.
Kind regards, Martin Bretschneider
