Is there a way of adding a drop shadow to a polygon or other shape being added to a PDF file? I found this thread but I'm not clear if they were trying to do the same thing. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=626&hilit=drop+shadow Essentially this is what I have at the moment being inserted into my document via another page created in PDFSharp: This is something that gets inserted potentially multiple times into the document but the background colour changes & sometimes the background colour can be quite light. This makes the super-imposed polygon virtually invisible in some cases. Ideally I'd like to add a small drop shadow to the cross polygon added to the PDF page but have no idea how to go about doing this or even if it's possible. |

How would I soften the edge of the drop shadow shape? The only way I can think to do it is to start with the original shape then copy and scale it by a pixel or 2 then increase the copies transparency by 10%. Then copy the copy and repeat 9 more times so I have 10 shapes with increasing scale and transparency. Is there an easier way? |
