Hi Shlomo, Are you saying that FrameMaker will have problems producing print and PDF with a .psd that contains transparency?

FrameMaker does not support transparency in bitmaps when producing print/PDFs. The best workaround is probably to have a single consolidated image for the entire cover, and include that in FrameMaker. [ Somewhat related: I recently implemented support for color masking in images which are placed in layers through hypertext markers with FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers + Presentation Assistant -- see sample PDF at http://www.microtype.com/showcase/PresentAsst/TransparentBgnd.pdf . Support for image insertion through hypertext marker was added as a workaround for another problem... FrameMaker places a solid white rectangle underneath images in the PS/PDF it produces, which obscured items in PDF layers. ] Shlomo Perets MicroType, http://www.microtype.com FrameMaker/Acrobat training & consulting * FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants Template Design, Single Sourcing, FM-to-PDF & Acrobat courses _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as matt at grafixtraining.com.
