I have a multi-payer publisher page.

At the back is an aged paper graphic.

Next is text.

On the same "level - (that is, not overlaying the text) is a photo I have added.

This photo has, in affinity photo, had it's edges erased using the erase brush with some jitter to give a bubble like appearance around the edge.

Looks perfect in published, but when I print it as a pdf (which I will need to do when printing the entire book), there is a red background showing on the photo. See attachments 

Any ideas?

I wonder if it isn't as transparent as you think.

Have you tried checking the area you think is transparent with the colour picker tool and seeing if you get a read-out other than C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:0 obviously turn any layers with colour off first.

Thanks, When I do this I am not getting 0:0:0, but 255:255:255.  The thing is, in publisher, there appears to be no color, but when printed as a PFD, it is there. In desperation, I changed the background graphic, and the problem, while still there, is much less pronounced.

Ok, so the document is set to RGB hence the 255:255:255 

It might be an idea to either ask a mod to look at the doc if you prefer to keep it private or copy that page and it's elements to a new cut down document and upload it for us to look at to get a more definitive answer.

The image isn't as erased as you think, turning off the layers shows distinct edges.

Using the erase tool with less hardness after you have initially created your scallop effect would get rid of the pinky red edging.
