Dear Maintainer,

I notice that XPDF does not support overprinting. See this file,
page 24 and 25, for an indication:

Short survey across what I have:

xpdf (sid): no support
kpdf (hardy): no support
okular (sid): no support
evince: not tested, but the PDF says no support
mupdf 1.2 (Debian sid): no support
mupdf 1.3 (MirBSD): no support
Acrobar Reader 5: no support
Adobe Reader 9: must be explicitly enabled

This seems to be a *very* exotic feature.

Hi,

afaik, they are all based on the poppler library internally.

Adobe reader 10 seems to have appeared early in 2010, and Adobe
Reader 11 seems to be out for quite some time, too.

I don't know how exotic that is, but from my POV, this is sort of a
"test case" from Reportlab's documentation.


Kind regards,
