I've been gone from the list for a few years, due to job load, list volume,
yadda yadda, but of course I was laid off,and now I'm back to freelancing,
so here I am, back in the fold! Good to be connected once again!
Here's my current problem: I've created a catalog that includes some
graphics that I copied from the Print Shop to Word. The specific graphic is
one of a big yellow construction hat, and I put a text box on top of it.
Fine in Word... transparent background. But when I PDF'ed it, the
background in the hat gfx turned black. I've done similar things to a ton
of other gfx in that doc, but only that hat (and of course it's the theme of
the catalog) got the black background in pdf.... Does anyone have a
suggestion as to how to un-black that hat in pdf?
