Issue/Introduction

We are testing CA-View/Web Viewer r14.0 and comparing it to Web Viewer r11.5. It compares well except that a few reports do show differently by the Web Viewer r14.0.

Light Gray bars/zones look nicer in the 11.5 version than with new Web Viewer r14.0 :

We know that 14.0 Web Viewer relies on Java Transformers where 11.5 Web Viewer used C Transformers, but we are unable to spot the settings causing the difference.

Resolution

For the Spool Transformers:

1) In the PDF generation section, this parameter was changed from the default:

            shadeMode="Raster"    
change it back to "Map"

2) Also the PDF generator has:

         <filedeflist name="FdAfm">
                <filedef directives="" location="DSN:EXP.AFP.FONTLIBB({0})"  cache="job"/>
                <filedef directives="" location="DSN:SYS1.FONT300({0})"  cache="sys"/>
                <filedef directives="" location="DSN:SYS1.FONTLIBB({0})"  cache="sys"/>
            </filedeflist>

Make it just:

          <filedeflist name="FdAfm"/>

Set parameter DefaultMappingColorCmd="0.9 0.9 0.9 rg" as suggested and it solved all rendering issues on all PDF reports.
