> When a pdf file has a shape that is drawn with a transparency value the transparency values are not respected when exported to image.  
> I have attached a small patch that fixes this issue.  The patch does not fully satisfy the PDF transparency model, for example only Alpha composition is used.  But it covers the most common use-case of drawing shapes with a transparency value for fill and stroke.  
> I have also attached a maven project that demonstrates the issue.  It had a pdf with a shape in it that is semi transparent.  Running the application (execute the runexample.sh script) will load that pdf and export it as an image.  During the export (the output is a file called pdfAsImage) the transparency is lost.  
> Compare the exported image and the original pdf to see the difference.  PDF is in src/main/resources/...
