I'm having troubles with PDF exporting with Pagestream in linux. I'm using
opensuse 11.3, but i've had problems with PDF's for some time from
pagestream and need to fins out if there are any other with the same
troubles.
I'm using PGS version 5.0.5.7 but the troubles are form several revisions
back.
NOw the pdf's i have problems with usually have a background image. and
xparent text boxes.
the background image in the exported PDF looks like bad video, with a lot
of vertical lines running through it, you cannot discern what the image is.
this effect is noted in kde's Okular, and in Foxit for windows.
Now I installed Acrobat reader on my linux machine, the background show
correctly, but the colors are off and the stroke applied to the font isnt
showing up as thick as it should.
it there anyone else having any problems with PDF's from pagestream?
what distro are you using, what pdf display tool(s) do you use? (desktop
type? KDE, GNOME... etc...)
I want to pin this down as to what the cause is.

First question, are you sure that it's PageStream that is causing this
problem? Have you tried producing something similar from KOffice or
OpenOffice to see if the result is the same? Maybe print out as
postscript then convert to pdf from another program? If could be
something about opensuse rather than the program, but only further
testing can completely resolve that.

Regards
