Post a PDF with a soft mask and I'll see what I can do.

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?

Class PdfGState is a dictionary, you can add any keys to it including the
SMask key. To select a graphic state call PdfContentByte.setGState().

Hello Paulo,
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. 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.
Once a Soft-Mask Dictionary is selected into the graphics state all
drawing operations undergo soft-clipping which would be really great.
Greetings,
Michael
