OpenGL?
Is it possible that iWork uses OpenGL for its effects like drop shadows? I had a somewhat similar issue with iMovie.... a slideshow I created using iMovie's smooth-transitioning video effects always exported as a choppy image-to-image slideshow (no transition effects whatsoever). After poking around, I found that Apple's "advanced" graphic transitions are all handled by OpenGL...
OpenGL? Probably something like it
Basically all Apple apps can create things like drop shadows, using the same OS routine (via command-T). The rendering probably is done by some OS X exclusive mechanism (Quartz? or via OpenGL?). Apple found a way to embed this very special kind of text into the PDFs created by the OS, thereby creating small files with superb quality (with the shadows being vector-graphics and not bitmaps). |
