Bug ID: 160325 Summary: Page Style - Transparency Gradient has reversed colors on Export to PDF Product: LibreOffice Version: 24.2.1.2 release Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Windows (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Printing and PDF export Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: fz1...@gmail.com Description: I often use a transparency gradient to make the Title more clear on a Book Cover (it helps fade out the background behind the text). Sometimes the background is not just a picture, but a color. I noticed, since the new 24 release, that some of these gradients produce reversed coloring, on export to PDF. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new document in Writer. 2. Make a custom Page Style for the page. 3. Right-click that Style and choose "Edit Style". 4. In the Page Style dialog, choose the Area tab, and pick a color. 4. Choose the Transparency tab, for Area Transparency Mode choose "Gradient." 5. Choose any of the first three Gradients: Linear, Axial, or Radial. 6. Set the Start value to 0%, and the End Value to 100%. 7. Choose OK to close the dialog. 8. Export to PDF. View the PDF. Actual Results: If you chose, for example, Red as the background color, with a Radial transparency, you should see (in Writer) a white center fading to red on the edges. In the PDF, you see the opposite: a Red center, fading to white on the edges. Expected Results: This used to work fine in the 7.x release (and all other previous ones that I can remember over the last 8 years). Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I'm not sure this is relevant, but I'm using an Nvidia RTX A4000 graphics card. It's shouldn't be related to this particular computer, as I just set up another computer and did a fresh install of LibreOffice, and it has the same problem. Also, it seems to be confined to the first three Gradient types: Linear, Axial, or Radial. The other three types: Ellipsoid, Square, and Rectangular, seem to work as expected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
