There are a couple different issues there (all missing features in Xpdf): * the overlay box is an annotation, which is marked as hidden - Xpdf doesn't currently look at the annotation flags (including the "hidden" flag) * the overlay box uses transparency, which is not fully implemented in Xpdf * that PDF file uses an interactive form (among other things, when you roll the mouse over the print icon, it un-hides that annotation) All three of those are in the queue of things to be worked on. - Derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
