Description karlsenmasur 2006-08-07 13:14:27 UTC

Using Impress (680m180 which was not yet listed in the tracker as of now) to
print handouts of the slides (tested 2 per page) leads to almost invisible
borders around the single slides if OOo is *not* allowed to reduce the
transparency aspect.

If OOo *is* allowed to deal with the transparency aspect (and reduce this) to
make printing faster, the borders around the single slides are printed OK in
handout style. 

BTW: Printing the slide borders on the handout themselfs is just working again
since issue 54989 got fixed a few days ago.

sorry, not reproducible. The result looks the same, with reduced transparency or
not. Is this problem visible when printing to a postscript file?
Thanks.

Yes, it is visible on paper printouts printed by OOo generated postscript files.

The difference is also visible using GhostScript/GSview viewing the postscript
file with a larger zoom factor.

Here is more background:

Im using OOo Dev 680-m180 on Windowx XP Pro.

The options for printing to printer and printing to file are set the same.
No checkbox is checked except for the "Printer warnings->Transparency" checkbox.
I assume that this checkmark will produce the warning dialog at printing time
where I then choose to reduce transparency to get the border/frame of the slides
printed correctly and where I choose not to reduce the transparency to get dogdy
borders printed. 

In the latter case there are 'some' lines of the border rectangle visible but 
most of the time only two out of the four lines comprising a full rectangle are
visible. And these two lines are even thinner than the borderlines printed with
reduced transparency.

Thanks, for looking into this.

Ok, I have generated a .ps file now where I can see something like that. After
opening the file in ghostview the borders are not painted in any way. If you
start to zoom they are painted sometimes. The same for the object borders. I
will attach two screenshots of the effect.

Comment 7 karlsenmasur 2006-08-08 16:06:15 UTC

I am confused about borders and object borders.

Anyway I will appebd the following attachments:

transparency-test-without-transparent-object.odp

producing

transparency-test-without-transparent-object.pdf (looks as expected)

and 

transparency-test-with-transparent-object.odp

producing 

transparency-test-with-transparent-object-transparency-not-reduced.pdf

with full transparency (looks bad) and

transparency-test-with-transparent-object-transparency-reduced.pdf with reduced
transparency option (looks good again).

The PDFs are generated by printing impress handouts from OOo directly Free PDF
XP on a Win XP Pro machine.

transparency-test-with-transparent-object-transparency-not-reduced.pdf contains
the faulty borders.
