I forgot the following additional procedure, Sorry.

  • remove lib/plugins/rfpdf/

  • Target version set to Candidate for next major release

Thank you very much, because I looked for working on this I know it's a lot of work. Very nice.

Do you have some way to keep the new code updated compared to TCPDF, like some howto/instructions that could be shared?

Just one thing, the rfpdf name should be definitely removed if the code is no more based upon this deprecated library.

Thank your for the patch. I can confirm that many things work, for example images in a table, unfortunately png images with an alpha channel seem to still be problematic.

We have tried out the patch for one of our customers at Planio, they have png images that currently do not work at all. With the patch, the pdf is rendered with the space for the image, but depending on the pdf viewer it will either show empty space (for example Preview.app on a Mac) or a greyscale distorted version of the png (Chromium on a Mac).

Jun, would it help you to have an image that has the above problems with which you can try it out? I will try to see with our customer if we can generate a problematic png that we can share.

In fact our own logo with an alpha channel shows the same problem. I have attached it to this issue, feel free to use it to test, thanks.

It is the following three that I thought as important.
  • Maintain the state of operating.
  • Update only the required range.
  • A PDF output result should become the same as that of TCPDF.
    Therefore, I translated into Ruby, pursuing the repository revision history of TCPDF.

Just one thing, the rfpdf name should be definitely removed if the code is no more based upon this deprecated library.

OK, I change the rfpdf gem name into another name.
Thank you for the advice.

I cannot confirm, my 2 png test files with alpha channel did not get rendered into the PDF at all. Have you tried it with the file attached to note 4? If the file attached in file 4 gets rendered to PDF for you, I would try to see why it doesn't work for me.

That looks good indeed. Is this just rbpdf or from a Redmine wiki page? My test was trying to export a PNG with alpha channel transparency included in a wiki page in Redmine, can you confirm this works too for you?

Please tell me, your environment.
  • Ruby version

I commented to #13781#note-10
I will solve this problem, if there is a font setting function.

However, the comment of #4787#note-9 worries me.

Jun, I was able to test this a little more and the error I get is caused by an endless loop. The error is:

pdf: Image: error: File name too long @ rb_sysopen - /some/path/redmine/tmp/20140903-35375-hkom8b_20140903-35375-hi2xft_20140903-35375-vt1hl5_20140903-35375-11px1pc_20140903-35375-2peiit_201

It seems rmagick on my system (OS X 10.9.4, ruby-2.1.2, rmagick-2.13.3, ImageMagick 6.8.9-5 Q16 x86_64 2014-07-25) creates png images with an alpha channel even if it is not needed. The tempfile_plain created in https://github.com/naitoh/rbpdf/blob/1.18.0/lib/rbpdf.rb#L5191-L5204 still has an alpha channel:

% identify -format '%[channels]' /some/path/redmine/tmp/20140903-36796-4vbykd_140731155010_planio_logo_button_250_no_shadow.png.png
srgba

(the 2 files were from 2 different runs, but you get the idea)

This in turn causes https://github.com/naitoh/rbpdf/blob/1.18.0/lib/rbpdf.rb#L5199 to try to remove the alpha channel again and to go into a loop where #Image will call #ImagePngAlpha and #ImagePngAlpha will call #Image.

Is there more information or a test I can do to help you?

OK, this problem (#note-17 and #note-4) reproduced in my environment. (MAC OS X 10.8.5/ruby 2.1.2/rmagick 2.13.3).

I think that the cause of this problem is RMagick of Mac.

Yes.

No.
I understood this problem, now.
Thanks!

I will fix this problem in the possible range.
Please wait several days.

Sorry, I miswrote Issue ID. #12934 is wrong, #11788 is right.
#12934 is already fixed.
And, I think to fixed #11788 , too.

#12447 : Convert alpha channel to black.

Already fixed by rbpdf 1.18.1
