linking images in PDF

[chubz]

Hi,
I'm unsure whether this is related to weasyprint or underlying library but you guys could maybe answer this:
I've run weasy on my local env and on a server env and got same results but on my own html this issue is distributed differently. You have two images that are used in the test run of weasy print from docs.
weasyprint http://weasyprint.org ./weasyprint-website.pdf
This command produces a pdf which has this issue when analyzed ...

So of the two png images only one is recognized as a link and a separate image in Photoshop. Other issue is when manipulating with the image in Illustrator with following behaviour

as you see the logo image not recognized as an image in Photoshop repeats while the smiley ong image behaves normal.

This issue with images not being linked is what is happening with my custom html where images not linked are done with an img tag (like the smiley png). Any help or ideas as to what might be causing this would be helpful

I’m sorry, I don’t really understand what the problem is. Please explain what you’re trying to accomplish, how step by step you’re doing it, what result you expect, and what result you obtain instead. Note that I don’t know Photoshop or Illustrator, and I especially don’t know what they do to import PDF files.

In particular:

What is the same as what? What is different from what? What does "distributed" mean here?

What is the issue?

So of the two png images only one is recognized as a link and a separate image in Photoshop.

What does "recognized as a link" mean? "separate" from what?

Again, I’m not sure what you’re saying here.

What I can tell you is that the logo on the home page is set with a CSS background-image property, while the Acid2 smiley is an HTML <img> element. WeasyPrint implements them differently, because CSS background images can be repeated. background-repeat can be set to repeat in only one of the X or Y dimensions, while PDF patterns repetition is all (both dimensions) or nothing. So, for simplicity, WeasyPrint always makes PDF patterns for background images, but may set the repeating stride and clipping rectangle so that the repetition is invisible in the given dimension, based on the background-repeat property. The relevant code is in weasyprint.draw.draw_background_image.

Now, why is it a problem to you that background-image and <img> are implemented differently?

This is not weasyprints issue but rather it is related to one of the underlying libraries.
No need to have this issue open.
