From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: When generating PDF files from (for example) DVI files, if DVI file include EPS images, generated image in PDF files are ugly. Image are heavily compressed (too much) and colors are spreading out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a .tex document with an EPS image 2. Create a DVI file : latex my.tex 3. Create a PDF file : dvipdf my.dvi 4. Look the result : acroread my.pdf You can also see the result with : 1. Create an EPS image 2. Convert to PDF with convert command : convert my.eps my.pdf 3. Look at the result In both case, the image must be at least 64x64 pixels. Actual Results: Ugly image. For example, an image with a grey surface and a black line (one pixel width) result in an image with a red and blue-green line and bad borders and JPEG artefacts. Expected Results: Correct image. Additional info: I can provide a patch for the RedHat version of ghostscript. I also have corrected release of the following files : ghostscript-6.52-8.i386.rpm ghostscript-6.52-8.src.rpm Ask if needed.
