We're having an issue when printing PDFs with software that uses Apache PDFBox. We opened a ticket with them and they claim that there is a problem with how WeasyPrint uses transparent backgrounds. Can this be addressed in WeasyPrint?

This issue is a duplicate of #238, but we may find a workaround for the particular case of empty backgrounds.

Well, it's probably WeasyPrint's fault here 😉.

@Tontyna You'll be happy to know that fixing this bug is made complicated because of … a new bug in Cairo.

Fix tests because of a bug in Cairo
498c275 
Cairo doesn't add links on empty pages, so we need to draw something on each
page in tests. This bug shouldn't happen with real life documents.

This issue appeared while fixing #780. Before that, empty pages were not empty
as they had at least an empty SVG drawn on the background.

See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/issues/357

@thasmin This "bug" is now closed, as we don't draw empty patterns for empty page backgrounds anymore (see 17cd8e9).

It doesn't mean that this problem won't happen with other documents. The bug in Java Print Services can happen as soon as there's a transparent layout to draw. But the bug is not in WeasyPrint anymore 😉.

@liZe thanks for the patch!

Before 17cd8e9:

  • 😢 Apache PDFBOX takes 11 seconds, > 1GB heap

After 17cd8e9:

  • 😀 Apache PDFBOX takes 1 second, 37MB heap

Upgraded to master using:

pip3 install git+git://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint@master
