ivbera Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hello I am working with pdfs and want to have a transparent colored object above it. The pdf are mostly transparent but have some white areas in it. The colored object is displayed differently on white planes or on transparent areas. The results also varie depending on how I placed it. I expect all white colored areas to be the same color in the blue rectangle. picture frame and transparancy.afpub Quote Primary: Windows 10 Pro 1903 / Intel Core i7-8750H @ 2.20 GHz / 32 GB RAM/ GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q Secondary: os x mojave / imac 2017 A.Publisher 1.7.2.471 September 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove the fill it looks the same as #1 & #2. I assume the PNG in #4 will look the same if you create/export it with a transparent background. Would this work for you? d.

I work with pdfs for vector reasons. 1 and 2 are also not the result i want. some areas are darker than the others, but effectively it is white and it should be the same. I think this is a problem to be fixed and not to be work around.

Staff Pauls Posted July 16, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 16, 2019 I wonder if the png image is a colour conversion issue - do you have the original png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominik Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 3 hours ago, Lagarto said: To avoid the problem, you should export the pdf using some other option than (flatten). You could also add a white rectangle behind all objects to guarantee that you have uniform white background behind all objects. That would let you avoid dependency on viewers and ensure that the background looks the same whether you have transparent or white background in your source images. That is an interesting advice. I‘ll take that into account for the next time. Thanks. d.

ivbera Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 @Lagarto You are right. But I still think it is weird for it to display this way and export different.

Staff Pauls Posted September 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 5, 2019 if you place the image into an RGB colour format file do you get the result you expect ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
