PDFExport in 5.1 only

When upgrading to 5.1, I noticed that the images in our pdf export have lost all their black color. I am using icon files for my images, and adding them as table cells in a tablenode. They have borders (and some have other image parts) in black, and the other colors all still show up in the pdf, but all the black is strangely gone.

(where table is a tablenode)
table(0, junctionRow).Image = Image.FromFile(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath & "\Icons\valve.ico"
table(0, junctionRow).ImageAlign = MindFusion.Drawing.ImageAlign.MiddleLeft

It worked for me -
http://mindfusion.eu/_samples/test.pdf - the ruler icon has just yellow and black pixels. however i think the images are re-encoded as jpegs and get a little blurry, could that be your problem?

Thanks for your reply!

I am confident that in my case, the black is lost, however I may not have been clear enough in my original post is lost.  Only true black (0x000000) is lost. 

The workarround I have in place is that I have opened my icons and changed the black in them to what I like to call "not quite black" (0x000001), which appears just fine in the exported pdf.  In my case, this is not a problem at all since my icons are few, and simple, and I have already converted them to "not quite black".  With luck, anyone who encounters this issue can easily do the same to get arround it.

I can't really tell for sure with the icons on your pdf, but it appears as though the pixels that are showing are not true black.

Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like me to post any example pdf, icons, etc.

Hello,

I was wondering if you have received the requested sample package, and if you were able to duplicate the issue using that package?

Regards,

Crade

Hi,

We have received them, and this should be fixed now in Flowchart.NET V5.1.1.
