Printing transparency from PowerPoint to PDF

[Genevieve]

I'm trying to print a PPT document to PDF. The master pages have I think
gradients and transparencies (template sent from client), and when the
document opens in Acrobat, the gradient/transparent area cuts off and is all
white. I'm using PPT 2003 and Acrobat 6.0. Any suggestions as to how I can
maintain the transparency, or is it just not possible in these versions?

Thanks!

Acrobat's PDF creating is based on PostScript and PostScript cannot handle
transparencies well. Microsoft's own PDF-Add-In in Office 2007 works better.
And Acrobat 8 was also improved. Either you try one of those. Or you save
your slides as images (JPG) and use those to create a PDF.

Best regards,
Ute

making the transparent image a JPG solved my problem. Thank you!
