OK -- is it possible that that Outer Shadow I am using on all the pictures is functioning as a layer that is throwing off the book publisher's PDF file?

Sorry -- I keep discovering stuff. Somewhere in my tinkering with the transparency question, I've wiped out my master pages and my sections. "All the fields are gone, and the sky is gray ..."

I am. working on a Mac.

This is the file of the entire book's innards. I hope you can see the images. I have them linked instead of embedded. So, this is where I have a transparency someplace. Granbury Book 3-x.afpub

Sorry .. where is top layer of my file found? By file you mean my whole book? Sheesh -- I'm sorry for coming across so dull.

Thanks for your quick responses. I'm just a 90-day wonder at Affinity, so I really appreciate your help/ Stupid question maybe, but here goes. Where do I find alpha channel? On Histogram, I have Red Blue and Green Channels, but not alpha. Seriously, thank you for your patience.

I have designed a book with almost 200 photographs in Affinity Publisher. I have to upload a pdf of the book to my book publisher. However, they are flagging my pdf file with the following message. We detected an element that may be transparent within your file. We strongly recommend flattening or removing any transparencies in your file. 1. How do I find a file or two that may contain transparencies? 2. I've read several times articles about flattening. I am simply grouping layers and rasterizing to flatten. Is that the easiest thing to do to "flatten" transparencies? Thanks for your help.
