PDF doesn’t support alpha in gradient colors. You’ll need to render out to a bitmap and then draw that instead. For best results you want a high resolution image that is dithered to prevent banding that the PDF rendering engine might otherwise do on its own. -Ben _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
