Jani Pehkonen commented on PDFBOX-4095: --------------------------------------- {quote}some blendmodes don't work properly against the page background {quote} The "unmarked space" simply means a raster buffer (like BufferedImage) that is initially fully transparent. This makes the blend modes work. No new graphics engine is needed. See how Mozilla PDF.js has implemented it [here|https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/ea3d8450d218dd53619c72c934547fe57f22530f/src/display/canvas.js#L731]. If a PDF page uses any blend modes [other than Normal|https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/ea3d8450d218dd53619c72c934547fe57f22530f/src/core/evaluator.js#L226], PDF.js renders everything on a fully transparent RGBA canvas. Finally when the page has been rendered, PDF.js draws the RGBA canvas on a white canvas. When rendering graphics like this in a fully transparent buffer, you are actually implementing _page groups_, which are explained in the PDF 32000 standard in section 11.4.7. > Non Separable Blend Modes implementation(HUE, SATURATION, COLOR, LUMINOSITY) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-4095 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4095 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Rendering > Affects Versions: 2.0.8 > Reporter: savan patel > Priority: Major > Attachments: BlendComposite.java.patch, BlendMode.java.patch, > COSName.java.patch, blendmodes.pdf, gs-bugzilla690477.pdf, > gs-bugzilla697433-1.pdf > > > I have a patch for implementation of non separable blend modes... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
