Hi All,I'm trying to print a NSGradient or CTGradient that comprises two colors with alpha. It draws fine on screen, and draws fine in the print panel preview, but when I create a PDF or print it, the alpha is not respected at all.Here is my drawing code: - (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect { // Drawing code here. [[NSColor blueColor] set]; NSRectFill(rect);NSGradient *gradient = [[NSGradient alloc] initWithStartingColor: [NSColor clearColor] endingColor:[NSColor colorWithCalibratedWhite: 1.0 alpha:0.5]];[gradient drawInRect:NSInsetRect([self bounds], 5, 5) angle:90.0]; [gradient release]; } You can check out how it looks on screen and in print here: http://skitch.com/mattski/m78t/window Any help would be greatly appreciated.
