PDF Export & Master Page

[BetlegeuseKC]

I built a 4 page document, all of it using the Master sheet for the visual template in the background.  I have one element on the master page that has 7% opacity, to really fade into the background.  It looks fine when I'm working on it, but when I export to PDF for print, on Page 1 (and only Page 1), the element with low opacity is much more opaque than on any of the other pages.

I Tried to clear the master settings off page 1, then re-apply them, in case I had accidentally unlinked and altered the master elements on one page, but the same thing occurred after export.  I also checked to verify I didn't double up the one element on accident.  Can anyone give me any further suggestions as to what might be in error?

Hi BetlegeuseKC,

Welcome to the forums

I've tried to replicate this with a simple green rectangle on the Master page at 7% opacity, then exported my document to PDF using the same preset and I'm not currently seeing the same issue as you, my apologies.

Could you please provide a copy of your .afpub file so I can investigate this further? If you don't wish to make the file public on the forums you can upload it to the following link, many thanks in advance!
