Re: PDF transparency

Hi Matt again, I was thinking about this a while, and I don't think you're right. Either PDF is absolutely transparency non-friendly, or there is nothing to handle. If I have transparent image and it has to be flattened, than the PDF is not transparenty friendly. If it hasn't to be flattened, why there are different results when displaying transparent images?

Huh?? Adobe handles transparency better than anyone else. PDF is *very*
transparency friendly. It is the flattening of transparency where you run
into differences. Even then, Adobe is best at it.

Hi, is there any way to tell Publisher (2007) to render transparent graphics
to PDF better? I know PDF itself is not transparent-friendly, but if I use
Adobe products, there seems to be no such problems (black contures around
the images).

Thanks, Jan
