[reportlab-users] PageCatcher Problem

[Michael Geddert]

Hello List,

We are experiencing problems with data captured by pageCatcher from 
various PDF-sources.
We use pageCatcher to reuse backgrounds (no simple pixel graphics)  from 
hand-made PDFs within
our own programmatically created PDFs.

The problem occurs e.g. with spot-colors:

The original File reads:
"HKS 13 E"

After dumping stuff with pageCatcher and loading it onto the canvas-object,
the color has turned into
"HKS!3"

.. and the PDF has to be manually postprocessed to correct this 
particular color.
Now, I'm aware that the opensource Toolkit is not capable of pantone/hks 
etc.,
but I was told that dumping und reusing Elements containg spot-colors 
with pageCatcher
should'nt be a problem at all.

Any Clues anyone ?

Regards,

Michael
