Hello Paulo, i looked through the iText examples again, but could not find out how to do this. I also do not have any idea how to insert a transparency group XObject as a stream into the Soft-Mask dictionary. Is it possible to do this with the PdfTransparenceGroup class?
Can you please give an example? Michael On 4/26/06, Paulo Soares <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Class PdfGState is a dictionary, you can add any keys to it including the > SMask key.
