Title:
Improper handling of watermarks in PDFs
Status in Evince:
Unknown
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evince
Expected behavior: The watermark in the PDF that is being viewed in
the accompanying screenshot should only show when printed, not viewed
on a PC.
What happened instead: See enclosed screenshot.
The PDFs that I have seen exhibit this problem are found on the
"Amazing Spider-Man: The Complete Collection" DVD-ROM, published by
Graphic Imaging Technology, now out of print.
In the README for the DVD-ROM, it said that there would be a "MARVEL"
watermark on each page when you printed it; however, these watermarks
would not appear when viewing the pages on your PC, assuming you were
using Adobe Reader 6.0 or later.
I can personally verify that, when using the latest version of Adobe
Reader on Windows, the watermarks behave as described: they only
appear on the printed copy, not when viewing it on your screen.
However, when viewing it in Evince, the watermarks appear onscreen
(see screenshot). I have not seen any way to hide them.
