Hello,

thank you. You were right. Acrobat Professional is buggy. The versions
between 6.0.0 and 7.0.4 do NOT concat the current transformation
matrix when the soft mask dictionary is selected into the graphics
state. From version 7.0.5 on this is fixed.

I would like to use a workaround and replace the current
transformation matrix with the identity before selecting the soft mask
dictionary. That way it would be possible to create PDFs that work
with all Acrobat Versions. The version that do concat the CTM would
simply concat the identity.

I cannot figure out how to set the CTM with iText. You can set the
Text Matrix to whatever you want but the CTM? Do I have to insert
literal content?

Michael
