What am I doing wrong? I don't know if what you did is supposed to work or not, but I assume it is. That leaves the possibility that Adobe's "transparent" is not properly understood by pdftex. I normally convert such images to png with alpha, that works fine for screen and (laser)print. For professional applications, you may run into trouble with color conversions, but that is true for most pdf(tex) output that contains any kind of transparency. Good luck, Taco
