Adding to Dov Isaacs' reply: Using Presentation Assistant (FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on), transparency is supported with rectangles (of different types), circles, JPEG images, and -- on a limited basis -- with text strings. All items are inserted/controlled through hypertext markers. For text items (typically one-line strings), you can specify the font, size, color and blending mode. A sample PDF is available at http://www.microtype.com/showcase/PresentAsst/TransparentButton.pdf PDF blending modes are similar to those available in Photoshop (see http://www.microtype.com/showcase/PresentAsst/Transparentbutton-BlendModes.pdf ) Shlomo Perets MicroType * http://www.microtype.com FrameMaker/Acrobat training & consulting * FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants
