Are you talking about using Acrobat or using a shading dictionry in a pdf job?

Participant

Yes i need to implement PathGradient in pdf ,So tell me what type of shading i need to use and how to implement

Known Participant

There are various ways of doing it. One example would be:

specify a shading resource, like

where object 4 is a shading dictionary, like

4 0 obj <<

/ColorSpace /DeviceGray

/ShadingType 2

/Function <<

/FunctionType 2

/N 1

/Range [0 1]

/Domain [0 1]

/C1 [0.0705882]

/C0 [0.1]

>>

/Domain [0 1]

/Coords [15 15 45 30 ]

/Extend [true true]

>>

endobj

Then in your job stream, you can construct your path and gradient fill the path with

/Sh1 sh

Hope this helps.
