Dxf to PDF Losing Transparency in MText

Aspose.CAD Product Family
1

Hello,

We are using .NET Aspose.CAD version 21.9.0.0 and are having trouble converting text within a Dxf file to PDF if there is transparency.

As you can see, in the attached files, the Dxf file contains some sample text with the transparency set to 80 and it looks fine. When converting to PDF using the attached code, the transparency setting is lost and the text is rendered as fully opaque.

Code - https://www.dropbox.com/s/3dlkku9qiiwc44q/Code-AsposeLibraryTesting.zip?dl=0

Dxf - https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mlruhmdpdj6c64/WaterMarkTest.dxf?dl=0

Pdf - https://www.dropbox.com/s/cozsoobmgdom00f/AddWatermark_out.pdf?dl=0

Please advise on a solution to this.

Thank you,
Kevin

Note: I did notice that your free online converter also does not preserve the transparency level when converting from Dxf → Pdf. https://products.aspose.app/cad/conversion/dxf-to-pdf

@Denis.Demenko
This still doesn’t work. I’ve updated the Nuget package to 21.12 and the transparency is not preserved.

Dxf Source: watermarktest.zip (21.8 KB)
Pdf Output: AddWatermark_out.pdf (23.3 KB)
Nuget Screenshot: Nuget.png (30.2 KB)

I can provide the source again, but it’s the same project from above (except the Nuget package has been updated).

@kgrems,
could you please test if addition of this option DrawType =CadDrawTypeMode.UseObjectColor for the rasterizationOptions object allows to get the desired result?
