thanks for your reply. I did some reading in the PDF standard. I'm
pretty sure that a Soft-Mask Dictionary can only be selected into the
graphics state with the "gs" operator.
Correct.
I looked into the graphics
state class in iText (I forgot the name of the class). This class does
not support all the bells and whistles of PDF 1.4.
Correct.
Once a Soft-Mask Dictionary is selected into the graphics state all
drawing operations undergo soft-clipping which would be really great.
Yes, but if you do this you MUST be sure to also specify a
blending colorspace, you won't like the results!
