Hi, Noticed today that if you have gradients that go to alpha 0% then they do not show up in a (save copy) PDF.
I have fairly old software, so perhaps my gnome PDF thing is out of date, but when I made the gradients go to white + alpha 100% (i.e. opaque) then the gradients worked in the PDF.
Any word on the rules in this regard?
It has been my experience that pdf support isn't always that great in non-Adobe products, so I would recommend trying adobe reader to see where the problem lies (if adobe reader doesn't display it something probably went wrong when exporting, if it does show it, chances are your pdf viewer just doesn't support it). In general, if you want to avoid trouble with pdf export, at the very least try to avoid transparency and filters.
