Hi,

embedding SVG's i have a little (display) problem: 

Using an SVG with an SpotColor Definition like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN"   "http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd" >
<svg  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="182mm" height="247.19mm" >
<g>
<rect x="108.5mm" y="0mm" width="17.5mm" height="247.19mm"  fill="rgb(255,251,128) icc-color( #SpotColor,'HKS 3',50%)" stroke="rgb(255,251,128) icc-color( #SpotColor,'HKS 3',50%)" />
</g>
</svg>

and using it as background for region-body, it can be separated for printing with 4+1 color. But displaying in Adobe Reader 7, the HKS 3 Color is only shown when enabling the overprintpreview in the base settings. When disabling this, you view an black color in the density specified as percentage from the SpotColor to use. In the example above it would be 50% black. The printing result with a regular color ink-jet will produce the same result.

This happens for all SVG's and doesn't depend on the background image. If you e.g. place an logo in fo:static-content regions, same thing happens. 

Am i doing something wrong? Is my SVG incorrect? Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

Carsten
