@iocoker I see, yes that is possible with PDF 1.7. In this example it uses a SMASK for the gradient masking.

I "just" need to replicate that.

@iocoker Thats a difficult issue. PDF does not support opacity gradients. At least not in PDF 1.7 (no idea about PDF 2.0; Did not yet pay for the spec... but likely not).

So this can only be faked somehow. Some common way to fake it, is to just rasterize the gradient as image. But this increases the file size a lot and also looks bad depending on the resolution used to rasterize the gradient...

Maybe it is possible to somehow implement that using soft masks. I'll have to investigate that.

@rototor , thanks for the reply.

The SVG is actually drawn into this sample and Acrobat reports its version as 1.7.
Sorry I'm not an expert on PDF, it could well be a 2.0 feature, as most PDF viewers are forgiving
