PDF with background image that is rendered too dark

The background image in the attached PDF is rendered much too dark with poppler.

The PDF uses a transparency group with fill and stroke opacity of 0.35:

gs /GS1
  gfx state dict: << /CA 0.35 /OP false /OPM 0 /Type /ExtGState /ca 0.35 /op false >>

Inside this transparency group a pattern colorspace is used:

cs /Pattern
scn /P0

The background image is part of the pattern colorspace, more exactly the pattern colorspace is this image, and before the image is painted the fill opacity is reset to 1:

gs /ca0
  gfx state dict: << /Type /ExtGState /ca 1 >>
Do /img0

So inside the pattern the fill opacity is 1, but the pattern itself should be set with fill opacity of 1.

In this PDF splash is not able to use its own tilingPatternFill, so it falls back to Gfx::drawForm. But because Gfx::drawForm draws directly in splash bitmap, the fill opacity of the image is used which overwrites the fill opacity of the pattern.
Comment 1 Thomas Freitag 2015-10-22 10:44:35 UTC
How it should be rendered is shown with acrobat reader or simply call

gs kühl.pdf

which renders it also correctly. The PDF is rendered also wrong with cairo, therefore I set it to the general component.
I was able to fix it for the splash backend, in the moment just for doTilingPatternFill, even if it happens probably also in doShadingPatternFill, but since I'm not sure and have no samples for it, I create a patch just for doTilingPatternFill and splash.
I will upload the patch when it successfully pass the regtest.

Multiply opacity in case of pattern colorspace

This patch solves it for splash and tiling pattern fills.
The patch passed my regression test successfully.
