Calling text->fillcolor with an undefined value breaks the PDF in Adobe
Reader (Win & Linux). ie. all white screen, images or graphix don't
display. The PDF displays fine in chrome and okular.
The attached script creates 2 pdfs, one broken, one not. I'm not sure
that this should be considered a bug in PDF::API2 or actually a bug in
Adobe Reader.. but damn it was hard to track down. oh, Photoshop wouldn't
open the file either so maybe it's just all Adobe products..
