Hi Angela the problem ist that MapInfo hantching is not really transparent as it is a bitmap. if you zoom in heavily in your PDF you should see the "transparency" (the dots of the bitmap). In addition^it should print correctly. If you want to have real transparency you can use a full fill for the vectors and put the raster on top and set it to i.e. 50% transparency (I think only in MapInfo 7.0 or newer); however the PDF will get a lot larger ........
