Object shadow colors don't export to PDF

[Jeremy Reichman]

When I export Graffle files to PDF, the standard grey object shadows 
export as solid black. They *do* export more as I expect to other formats,
  notable PNG -- there, they export as fading, softer shadows, almost as I 
would expect from an object blend in Freehand.

This happened in 1.1, and continues in the 1.2 beta. I don't know if that'
s how the PDF export is meant to work, but I was hoping for higher 
fidelity to the original drawing.

I still wish I could make soft shadows within Graffle (I can't seem to 
find a way to do this) and get those to a variety of export formats. Many 
of my diagrams will be exported for use within MS Word reports. The most 
useful formats there are PNG (Office's native graphics format, used for 
everyday docs I'd send as attached files) and, for print purposes, EPS 
with hi-res TIFF preview.

Adding a hi-res TIFF preview option for EPS generated by Graffle would be 
much appreciated. ;)

Thanks! I love this program.
