Question

Export a PDF to an image with transparency

Hello,

I'm trying to export a PDF (which contains a logo with 4 paths) as an image with transparency. In my case I use the PNG because it supports the transparency. As my logo is defined with paths it should be possible to create an image with transparency.

Maybe this is a limitation and Acrobat cannot create image wich supports transparency.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

    Yes. Open the PDF in Photoshop and check if it transparent or not and if not, make it trans

    parent.

    You didn't say "convert", you said "export". Exporting a PDF from Acrobat can be an image, but it will only export the whole PDF. PNG supports no paths, but transparency. With JPG it's vice versa. But Acrobat will not save the path or switch to transparency, so you need to do it as I said.

    Use Photoshop or any else graphic tool that can open PDFs.
