Hi,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 4:58 PM, Nick De Roeck <<a href="mailto:nick.de.roeck@gmail.com">nick.de.roeck@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
My guess is that this is related to the multistep gradation, if you<br>
leave out the middle step, the PDF file renders fine in Acrobat.</blockquote><div><br>I did some digging and found that when you leave out the middle step the function that defines the gradient turns to be of FunctionType 3, i.e. a "stitching function". That also makes sense with what I read in the cairo code, cairo-pdf-surface.c line 2031.<br>

<div><br>As far as I can tell the PDF is according to the spec. However, given that Acrobat doesn't show it correctly (and I verified this: it doesn't), I am not sure if that is of any help. Most people will consider the PDF "broken", I guess.<br>
<br>Anybody else any thoughts on this?<br><br>Best Regards,<br>Kristof<br></div></div>
