Exporting with Acrobat 8 works ..as long as I use 'Color Model: Native'.
If I change it to CMYK, it completely removes the shadow. With PDF/X it's not even possible to change the Color Mode, it's...

Or what do you meen by going old-school?

I've attached 2 files, the .xar that looks ok and the .pdf that looks awful :(
