PDF files appear washed out when viewed with PDF plugin

What's this all about? My PDF files look like they've been spilled with water and then dried in the sun. It works normally in IE8.

A link to the PDF would be useful. How are you accessing these PDF files?

Any PDF file looks washed out. I am accessing the file through Opera's PDF plug-in. Please see the attached screen-shot.

You're using a transparent theme, which has a major bug still in Opera 10.51. Plug-ins have transparency issues inside Opera.

Solutions:
- Don't use a transparent theme until Opera fixes the bug (or swap themes when needed).
- Continue using your transparent theme, but use a stand-alone PDF viewer instead of a plug-in.

Problem solved!

Set wmode to "gpu" or any value (except: wmode=transparent and wmode=opaque) with an userJS.
Testcase:
1: Install this userJS: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/33042
2: On YouTube at the UserJS's settings page (Misc tab) set modify the default wmode settings.
3: The fonts doesn't transparent anymore.
