Hello, If I save a PDF of a gradient filled circle, the gradient looks perfect in Linux Acrobat Reader (7.x IIRC) but in a more recent version of Acrobat Reader (8.1.0) on OS X and Apple's Preview.app, the gradient is a solid color.
Does this occur in Windows versions of Acrobat Reader as well? Is there any solution to this other than resorting to a different filetype (e.g. bitmap)?
Thanks, -TAG Todd A. Gibson
I see the gradient with no problem. I've made the file with Inkscape 0.45.1 on Win2k and I'm opening it with Foxit Reader v 2.0 build 1516

i wish i could confirm this for you but i do not have adobe 8 on my windows xp box. i do have adobe acrobat 7.0.9 professional and foxit reader and both look like my gradient in inkscape v.045-1.

I am using Acrobat Reader 8.1.0 on WinXP SP2 and Inkscape 0.46 Devel built on Sept 5, 2007. With this setup, the gradients appear perfectly - both radial and linear fills. (pdf saved as cairo pdf). I have attached the file so you can test if it is your acrobat or your inkscape.
Thanks,

Tony provided the needed clue. I was having problems with both Linux and OS X versions of Inkscape but Tony's drawing looked fine. He wrote that he was using a developer build so I installed developer snapshots on both operating systems and the problem went away. A bit of searching of the bug database turned up bugs 1712505 and 1208874 which look similar to my problems.
It looks like the bug will be fixed in the next release. Thanks to all who responded. -TAG
