Reply To: Index and transparency questions

Hi, David,
Thank you for your prompt reply.

I do import the Word file and deal with it as normal. But if it contains pngs, the type on the spreads with the pngs becomes a bit bolder, and coloured text becomes much darker. Jongware’s entry above told me why. When I export as a recent-type pdf, most of these problems are reproduced, though unfortunately, not always consistently.

If I flatten the pngs by exporting with early versions like pdfx 1a, I get a warning that the links will not be retained. Apart from that,as you say, everything works fine in the pdf. When I esport for a printed version, I can use the early version of export because I don’t need the hyperlinks. It’s only the online pdf version which needs to retain the colors and the links.

Sorry if that is a bit garbled – I have to go out for a meeting. If I am needlessly complicating things, I’d really like to know, but I don’t see another way to get rid of the fuzz etc.

Best wishes,
Chazz
