Of course - you can have as many colors as you want (provided they are all in the same colorspace).
You will definitely need to read the PDF Reference/ISO 32000-1 in order to understand how to encode such things, since it is more complex than a simple gradiants. Leonard -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Wood [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 3:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [iText-questions] Gradients with Multiple Colors I'm trying to export some complicated vector graphics -- including gradients with multiple colors -- through iText's Graphics2D. My first questions are: 1. Is this technically possible in PDF's? 2. If I study the code for how GradientPaints are processed (which use only 2 colors): is it theoretically possible to use existing iText- related objects to achieve this? The PdfShading and PdfShadingPattern look promising, but the javadocs are bare. I thought I'd ask the list before I explore further.
