SUBTRACTING LOGO FROM BACKGROUND NOT WORKING

[Shelly]

I need to subtract everything from the background so that the final file is not layered and will not trigger a preflight issue for the printer.  I have a gazillion of these to create and the Vistra logo is the only thing that will not cut out (subtract from the background).  I am using an eps version and when I open the logo by itself in Designer, it is in curves so I am not sure what the issue is.  Thank you in advance for taking the time to walk me through it

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is and what you need but I didn't have a problem removing the blue background.

Blue background needs to stay.  I need all of the text and logo to subtract (cut-out) of the blue background so the elements are not layered.  Essentially, the white substrate would show through the cut-outs and nothing would actually print in those areas.

You can do this using a compound, the only issue was the eps file, you need to open that and paste the curves because the eps embedded will not work in a compound.
