Hi, I'd appreciate some wisdom from the pros. I design a newsletter — it is mostly just text, but there are some transparency effects on the first and last pages.
Up til now I have always exported to Acrobat 4.0 compatibility which flattens the effects. I get this nice warning “Pages with transparency will not include hyperlinks, bookmarks, movies, sounds, button items, or eBook tags. If your pages require these features, click Cancel, and then select an Acrobat 5.0 or later export option.” and I have been ok with that. But now I would like to include hyperlinks on the pages with transparency, and I find that just exporting to the Acrobat 5.0 setting introduces other problems to those same pages.
If I have my transparency blend space set to CMYK, then the pages with those transparency effects appear faded/washed out. The text is not nearly as black and crisp as in the rest of the pages. Besides the inconsistency it just looks bad. Well, I then tried setting the transparency blend space to RGB and exporting again. Now the text on those pages appears poorly rasterized. Still not nice and crisp like the rest of the document.
Is there anything I can do to get consistent-looking text and include both the hyperlinks and transparency on those pages?
