I improved Artefact this morning and added the support for PNG files. It's now possible to use PDFPngElement to include a PNG (untransparent) in a PDF file produced by Artefact. https://sites.google.com/site/artefactpdf/ Best regards Olivier ;-)
Excellent! Alexandre

JPEG supports is degrading. Less and less good support. Le 11/1/15 18:04, Torsten Bergmann a écrit :

Thx T.

Thanks - but that was not my question. PNG graphics format can - but must not include transparency. When I understand the mail correct only non-transparent PNG images are supported with the new addition. That's why I ask about transparent PNG. Bye T.
In fact, the PNG is converted to JPEG image before to be included in the PDF file. But the conversion process doesn't support transparency and sets a black background. I think that is a limitation in the JPEG writer but someone have perhaps an idea to fix it. Olivier ;-) 2015-01-11 21:11 GMT+01:00 Torsten Bergmann <astares@gmx.de>:

olivier the problem with transparency is that it often depends on the printer driver (no joke) I once asked the people from omingraffle and they told me that there is no standard. Stef Le 11/1/15 21:23, olivier auverlot a écrit :
