            Bug ID: 105294
           Summary: pdftocairo -pdf inverts image color in this PDF
           Product: cairo
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: pdf backend

I noticed this while verifying that
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757876 has been fixed in cairo. The
'missing spaces' problem is fixed, but I see a new issue now.

If I run `pdftocairo -pdf` on the attached PDF file, images in the output PDF
show reversed black and white. I traced it to this commit in cairo:

commit b207a932a2d3740984319dffd58a0791580597cd (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)

    Correctly decode Adobe CMYK JPEGs in PDF export

    Adobe PhotoShop generates CMYK JPEG files with inverted CMYK.  When a
    JPEG file with this format is included in a PDF file, a `/Decode`
    array must be included to convert to "normal" CMYK.

    These JPEG files can be detected via the presence of the APP14 "Adobe"
    marker.  However, PDF viewers are not required to detect and handle
    this private marker, so it must be detected and handled (by adding a
    `/Decode`) by the PDF generator.
