Mirela,
I have had similar difficulties in the past. In my case, I usually get
a PDF which I can open and see with Mac OS X's Preview.app, but which
produces a blank page when printed. I have promised to send John Fultz
at Wolfram (cc'd here) a note when I encountered the next example.
However, testing your example, it seems to work fine for me. I'm
curious, exactly how are you "saving the result"? Are you right
clicking on the graphic in the front end, or are you using an
Export["fig.pdf",fig] command? (Or, what most often causes me greif,
copying the graphic and pasting it into a PDF app such as
Preview.app?) Also what version are you using? (Execute "$Version", my
output is below)
I'm now beginning to wonder if the issue I had was some combination of
7.0 vs 7.0.1 and Mac OS X 10.5 vs 10.6, since I have been unable to
reproduce it recently.
>> $Version
"7.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (February 19, 2009)"
John might be interested to have a look at the PDF file generated by
your example.
