Transparency problem with publish online document

Hi,

 

is there any solution to get rid of white box under the object (please see the attachment)?

The group element consist text and retangle which has illustrato file pasted into. And that retangle has drop shadow.

I assume that drop shadow makes that white box visible in publish online document. But when I download PDF then white box disappears. Also it is not in InDesign document. 

 

Thanks for help!

Don't copy and paste from Illustrator - try use File>place instead.

 

There are some tips here

Thank you and sorry, Illustrator file is placed not pasted. I made three options:

1. without placed Illustrator file

2. without drop shadow

3. with placed Illustrator file and shadow

It looks good without shadow. I tried to on/off object knocks out Shadow and Shadow honors other object but none of those choices solved problem. If you download PDF you notice that it is OK.

    It's not possible to tell from the illustrator, exactly how the group element you're referring to is composed. Pasting an Illustrator file (if that is what you meant) is not a recommended method of working. The Illustrator file should be PLACED. (File > Place) not pasted.

     

    Can you post a link to all or part of the InDesign file (and its assets) so we can examine how it was created?
