Zend Pdf and PNG transparency issue
June 5, 2008 3:00 pm Zend FrameworkCurrently working on PDF generation, I’ve noticed that drawing a big PNG image with transparency (about 600×800, 150kB) brings the script computation up to 20 seconds. I’ve raised the bug in the Zend Framework issue tracker and for now, don’t forget to remove transparency in your background image if you can.
See the bug at : http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-3392

Great thanks for the comment and registered issue!
Could I also ask you to attache the image to the issue for testing?

I can’t, it’s a copyrighted image of the customer but I think any A4 image with a lot of transparency may cause the problem. I’ll test during the week with an other (home made) image to check.

Aha, I’ll try to generate image by myself and test it.

Sorry, it was a hard day with 3h sleeping … of course you can generate image by yourself
