When viewing PDFs in Dropbox, I'm seeing picture and text boxes exhibiting the Effects (such as Multiply) that are being used on images or type in those boxes.
The example shows the text box where the type has been set to multiply is also showing a Multiply effect. It's filled with the same color as the text in the box when the box is set for no color/no fill. This problem does not occur when the PDFs are viewed outside of Dropbox.
Is there any way to work around this? Other than not viewing things in dropbox which might be inconvenient for some?
thanks,
Pete

most services that have PDF previews do not render 100% like acrobat. I would never trust another service to render my PDFs. Looking at both of you WorkFront and DropBox.

A workaround for the problem: instruct your clients to download the file to their computers and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Standard, or Pro. This bypasses having a browser or other technology hijack the file and try to render it.

Try flattening the transparency when you export—set the Compatability to Acrobat 4
