Graphic files that work in PP X don't display properly in PP2004

[Don Newmeyer]

I often save a graphics file from Adobe Illustrator that has a transparent
background (not white) in PICT format and then import into PP. In PP X these
files are fine, but some of them in PP 2004 have strange black rectangles in
areas around vector objects that should be transparent, i.e. the slide
background should show through, but instead they're black.

Any idea how to solve this? Is PICT the best format, or should I try tiff or
jpg?

Try the save for web in Adobe and choose PNG-24 with the Transparency
option checked. That should work out great for ya.

Thanks, David! Initially I was dismayed to see that the png image was
anti-aliased when imported into PP, but I improved things just by increasing
the size of the original image in Illustrator before saving for web.
