Hmm I had a look at this more systematically. I created a two types of filled rectangles. One of them was radial-gradient filled with a single colour (red).
What do you mean by "gradient filled by a single color"? The color going from opaque to transparent? But as I wrote, this is not going to work because PS does not support transparency. So it looks like solid red. Try a gradient from red to white without transparency, that will work.
Just as I went to check this reply I realized that this was probably the answer. Sorry for being so dim-witted Bulia and thanks for being patient with me. I just checked into doing it exactly that way: fill with a gradient, then "add a stop" and choose white for the new stop.
Obviously in my not-too-clever fumblings I was producing _transparent_ images whenever I just filled using a single stop.
Thanks for helping me sort this out. (And just for the record I also tested xpdf, gpdf with the same results as above. I'm assuming they all share some library, but I thought I'd test just to complete it. I didn't test evince as it depends on a whole load of gtk-2.6 stuff).
Oisin.
