Bug#252255: bug#252255 seems to be probably not a bug
Hello !
I had recently a similar problem under OpenOffice.org 1.1.3-8 : when
inserting .png pictures with a transparent background into document and
exporting him to PDF format, xpdf or gpdf are not been able to display
correctly the .pdf file (the document opens, but the .png picture was
displayed with a black background)... Using .png pictures with
non-transparent background works fine.
So I decided to try exactly this operation with Scribus 1.2.1-1 (wich
handle well PDF exports) : the same problem occurs ! After a quick
search on the web it seems that documents exported in PDF with
transparency support (like in the .png pictures) are currently
unsupported by many pdf viewers (including xpdf 3.00 and Gpdf 2.8.2-1.1
but not limited to them).
Conclusion :
This is not really a bug, and not specific to OpenOffice or Scribus but
mainly a lack of transparency support actually in a lot of pdf viewers...
