Not at all. Compare it with what Adobe Reader displays. The rendering
in !PDF is pretty poor. It does not do any of the graduated fills.

This is a limitation in the ArtWorks PDF importer - it renders linear
and radial fills from some applications but not from others. Those
from Xara are fine because I used files exported from Xara Xtreme for
testing, but I do not have Illustrator. Unfortunately, Illustrator
uses a different method, which my importer does not support, so
graduated fills from Illustrator do not work yet. I will fix that when
I find the time. Then, we should be able to import that file perfectly
into ArtWorks, at much better quality than what you get from !PDF.
