1274941 - Integrated PDF viewer does not show shaded color properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1254066

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect)

Description

[thomas.ternite]

Attachment: Test PDF file

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0
Build ID: 20160502172042

Steps to reproduce:

I created a PDF file with LaTeX that is rendered inproperly in Firefox's integrated PDF viewer. In Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, it is shown as intended. Please refer to the attached file test.pdf as a minimal testing example.

The original documentation PDF file that now has this problem has been published more than a year ago and all was fine within Firefox first. The problem described has first appeared around half a year ago. I only noticed today that the problem only arises in Firefox.

[If needed, I can provide a minimal working code snipped for the PDF written in LaTeX (15 lines).]


Actual results:

The box containing "Text" is shown in a pink color within the integrated PDF viewer.


Expected results:

The box containing "Text" should contain a shaded green.

Since this works in Adobe Acrobat as specified in the LaTeX source, the color information obviously is coded within the PDF file, but is not interpreted accordingly in the integrated viewer.

I tested in old versions of Firefox (33/25/21) and all have the issue (pink container). So it's probably an issue which exists since the start of PFD.js.

It might be that when it originally worked using firefox more than half a year ago, I had a custom pdf viewer configured within firefox. Can't remember.
