Wrong color on personal information symbols when using PDF/A #42

Closed FabioPedretti closed 5 years ago

FabioPedretti commented 5 years ago

When using \usepackage[a-1a]{pdfx} before the \begin{document} directive to generate a PDF/A document, the symbols on the personal information section get rendered with a low contrast cyan color, rather than the blue color used for some of the text. Everything else (the text, the europass logo, also the photo) is OK.

Example default PDF: epd

Example PDF/A: ep

PDF/A is required in many contests, it would be nice to fix this so that the whole document looks as it should.

Thanks.

Hi, unfortunately I am not able to reproduce your problem. With TeX Live 2018 and the latest version of europasscv everything works fine for me, even with \usepackage[a-1a]{pdfx}

I was using pdflatex included in Ubuntu cosmic. I also tried upgrading to Ubuntu disco, which has newer latex, and I get the problem on both.

I also tried opening the pdf with Adobe on Windows, but I still get the color problem.

Here are the latex versions I was/am using:

Ubuntu cosmic:

$ pdflatex -v
pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (TeX Live 2019/dev/Debian)

Ubuntu disco:

Well, maybe in this case the version that you are using is too new.. actually it is a development version (as hinted by the "dev" in your version string), since TeX Live 2019 hasn't been released yet. I will definitely look into this behavior if it persists once the newest TeX Live is out. In the meantime you can try installing TeX Live 2018 which works for me.

I think you are rigth, sorry. With just europasscv the colors are OK. The problem happens when using this other template (based on europasscv), which I was using to have the Italian version: https://github.com/rainnic/latex-examples-templates/tree/master/CV_models/EuroPassCV

I'll report it here. Sorry for trouble and thaks for your quickly reply.

BTW europasscv also has Italian support, I wasn't aware. Thanks.
