Phew, exactly what I needed to know! Thanks to all who replied and to Peter for taking the cake.
So comparing two pdf's for colour issues, one containing transparency, using Acro7, is a bad thing. Malfunction at an improbability level of 1e^456:1 I'd like to add two observations (wishes .-): 1: If you set the color of an object, there's no way to set a percent value, right? The "Shade" option controls saturation, not brightness. Being used to pagemaker, I missed the latter (brightness) and got confused by the present option (shade). 2: Also, I found no way to make an object "non-transparent". I had imported it as a transparent spline from inkscape. To make it 'opaque', I had to rework the object in inkscape, then import again. is there a workaround with scribus alone?
