[OS X TeX] PDFs with gradient mesh applied don't appear

[Richard J Benish]

Greetings,

As a visually oriented person who has 
accidentally come to need to learn a few things 
about LaTex, I've followed bits and pieces of 
this thread. From the long distant days when I 
was a graphic artist, I recall that outputting 
Illustrator's gradient mesh was a quirky and 
unpredictable matter.

So for curiosity I opened the file attached by 
Herb, only to find that it compiles just fine on 
my machine.

What you may find to be of interest is that I'm 
running TexShop v. 2.33 on OS 10.4.11, which I 
suppose will be regarded as antiques by most 
participants here.

Good Luck, indeed,

Richard Benish
