Problem with PDF diagram display on DR800S
Recently I checked out a PDF sample of a programming ebook which is available from here.
The display of diagrams (vector graphics) on the DR800S is completely off, enclosed are two example images, first one ist the display on a PC with the Adobe Reader, second the same document on the DR800S (page 38 in the document). Could anyone with an DR800 please check this? So I can tell if it is a firmware issue or specific problem with just my device? So far, other documents with vector illustrations work fine. Edit: on a second look I am not sure if this is a vector based diagram, but in that case it would even be more mysterious why the display on the DR800 is wrong Last edited by DeReader; 03-10-2010 at 09:49 AM. |

Pauli and TGS, thanks for testing this! So it is an issue with the current firmware.
electrotype, currently no new firmware is available. But a new firmware with new features was officially announced by Irex here for April. |

Just to be clear - the original PDF displays on my unit as it does in DeReader's pics. The diagram image when copied from the PDF and pasted into a new PDF retaining its format also displays as it does in the pic. However, when the diagram image is converted to a bitmap, and then that bitmap is made into a PDF, the image displays fine. Also, when I made a new PDF with very simple vector graphics in Foxit, that displayed OK. So, I don't know if it's an issue to do with displaying vector graphics per se.

Gertjan, thank you for the info! Makes me really happy that a dev from Irex is directly communicating with the user base
I'm really looking forward to the new firmware with some fixes and new features. But nonetheless the device in it's current state is absolutely useable and I'm reading every day on my DR800S. |
