Workaround the 'no shadows' bug in Pages and Keynote

Following the previous advice, I printed to postscript, then dropped the resulting file onto Acrobat (which launched Distiller, converted the file, and opened it within Acrobat). The drop shadow appeared and printed.

This does work. I printed the default newsletter template with output set to postscript. Then I opened in Preview, and let it convert to PDF. Then I saved the PDF and opened it in Acrobat. Drop Shadows were preserved.

Strange. When I print this web page to postscript, let Preview convert it to PDF, and then view the PDF in Acrobat, there are no new rasterized objects. Zooming to 600% shows smooooooth fonts.

Preview doesn't rasterise Postscript files when it converts them to PDF. The print engine rasterises some objects when it creates a Postscript file. Shadows can't be described any other way in Postscript, so they're rasterised. Then Preview gets a Postscript file containing rasterised shadows, and makes a PDF with rasterised shadows.

It would, except the ps to pdf conversion doesn't work. I have a particular Keynote file which generates an error when the PS conversion is converted to PDF: |
