XeLaTeX does not display PDF v1.4 graphics
Dear Folks,
I have just moved to a texlive-full-2007 installation on a fresh install of
Kubuntu Gutsy. I am now experiencing a problem that did not occur with my
backported texlive-full-2007 installation on Feisty.
I give below a minimal example to allow replication of the problem.
The code for W.eps given in the "LaTeX Graphics Companion" p 30 and available at:
http://cnlart.web.cern.ch/cnlart/218/node85.html
was converted to PDF versions 1.3 and 1.4 using ps2pdf13 and ps2pdf14 and the
resulting graphics were called W13.pdf and W14.pdf respectively. They were used
in the file below, which was compiled with both pdflatex and xelatex:
------------------
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
%
\usepackage[margin=25mm]{geometry}
\usepackage[cmyk]{xcolor}
\usepackage{graphics}
%
\pagestyle{empty}
%
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\vspace*{0.2\textheight}
\begin{center}
\resizebox{0.3\textwidth}{!}{\includegraphics{W13}}% PDF version 1.3
PDF Version 1.3\\
\vspace{0.1\textheight}
\resizebox{0.3\textwidth}{!}{\includegraphics{W14}}% PDF version 1.4
PDF Version 1.4\\
\end{center}
\end{document}
------------------
The output from pdflatex shows both graphics whereas the output from xelatex
shows only the PDF version 1.3 but not the PDF version 1.4.
This could perhaps be due to some new TeX-related configuration files, or
something else. The problem arises regardless of which program was used to
generate the PDFs and seems related only to the PDF version. It has occurred
with output from PSTricks converted with epstopdf, with Inkscape converted to
PDF, etc.
Can anyone throw light on this behaviour, please, and suggest a solution?
Many thanks.
