PDF doesn't support gradients with transparency.

This sucks majorly actually, as it makes true WYSIWYG impossible.

A workaround might be to render the gradient to an image but it's less than 
ideal as it can bloat the PDF size hugely and is no longer resolution 
independent. I think a more recent version of PDF adds this capability but 
right now Apple is a version or two behind.
