Printing polygons with transparency

[rhettb]

I noticed several post for both Design Review 2007 & 2008 that described problems printing DWF's that have markups containing filled polygons with a degree of transparency and the polygons are printing as solid colors not allowing the geometry under them to show through. I didn't see where it had been resolved, are there any work-around's to this problem?

Would you happen to have a sample DWF for that use case?

All DWF's that have filled polygons with a degree of transparency print as solid for me. Here's a very simple DWF, if you create a PDF from it, you'll see how the hard copy looks.

Thank you. Will look at this in the AM.

Just having looked at the issue I can now say with certainty that this is
being tracked on our end already. Odd thing seems to be though that this
particular issue can not seen on all printers.

What printer/driver are you using? HP appears to be ok as far as we know...

I've tried a IBM 1357 color printer with the Universal Laser Printer PS3 driver, an IBM Infoprint Color 1464 PS3 and the PDF creator. All of these devices work fine in other applications that have transparent elements. Thanks for following up on this.

Thank you for the update.

I make sure that engineering is aware of this shortfall as well.

I just discovered that if I load PCL drivers for the printer everything works great. There must be some problem when using PS3 drivers.

Hello- I am also experiencing an issue with transparency when printing a PDF from Auto Desk Design Review 2011 using a Xerox printer. We tried printing as a bitmap, but then lost all quality. I came across this thread from 2008. Do you know if this has a fix yet in a newer version?

Hello;

I'm trying to show a solid white rectangle then show a mark up detail within the white rectangle.  The mak up gets covered by the white rectsangle How can I push it to the back and have the mark up detail stay visible?

Thanks
