Publish Online and Flattened Transparency Woes

I have a project I designed for print and my client now wishes to have this viewable online. When I upload this to Adobe's Publish Online I am noticing that transparency flattening seems to be leaving visible lighter shaded boxes behind elements with transparent effects?

Interesting. But I don't think would solve the issue. Note that I am running the print version of these issues to my Versant 280 without any issue. This is definately an issue with Publish Online.

I see it as well, but I downloaded your PDF and it seems fine in Acrobat. At first I thought there might be an ICC mismatch somewhere but all your images are assigned sRGB ICC, as well as your Transparency Blend space is in the same space, so it should be the same viewing experience.

I did notice If you open that PDF directly in a browser (or any other viewer), it is also fine, so something is up on the Publish Online side.

I don't have an answer, but I know this has come up before, but didn't see a definitive answer in any of the threads.

Agreed. I tried all the steps you had as well. I'm baffled.

All that being said, You might consider saving a flattened version for use online.

Also, aggreed. I had considered this as an option but would have to do this in a manner where I can keep the text non-raster. Doable but just a PITA.

Are you using blend modes, opacity or both?

The transparency flattening is a result of applying a dropshadow effect to all the text and lines in my design.

I have experienced issues when there are many transparent elements overlapping one another. This is not an issue of flattening the transparency, this is with live transparency rendered. Sometimes it seems as though complex transparency exceeds the capabilities of the rendering device. 

If there are many transparent elements, my suggestion is to reduce the amount of transparency by combining/merging as many elements as you can.
