According to my experience, this is a "feature" of PowerPoint which
seems to be incapable to display transparent background in PDF. This
also concerns transparent background PDF's from other programmes than
R. This experience is from Linux & Mac (pdf) and PP in Mac (never tried
that with PowerPoint on Linux...).
