Doing an offset rectangle is the easiest and actually takes up less space in a PDF (single 're' operator vs. multiple 'l' & 'm's). Remember that most (all?) drop shadows from InDesign have some limited transparency associated with them and you might want to use that in yours as well.

I am looking for the best way to add a shadow around an image. I have thought to use a layered output, and just put the image on top of an appropriately sized grey rectangle. However, I am curious if there is a better way. I have also thought to simply draw two skinny and long rectangles along the bottom and right side of the image to give the appearance of a shadow. Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Thanks,
