    ID CS5: Transparency Flattener in Export PDF doesn't work as expected

    Apel Yves Community Member

      Hello Community,

       

      I just tried to create a PDF with a Text having a transparency of 50% and the text should be outlined in the PDF. So I created a new Transparency Flattener Preset based on High Resolution with the option "Convert All Text to Outlines" activated.

      To be sure, I checked the Flattener Preview Panel for correctness!

      And as last Step, I exported my PDF with the below shown settings!

      But unfortunatelly, my Text will not be vectorized in my PDF.

      As soon as I use custom flattener settings in the pages panel and deselect "Ignore spread Overrides" with the export, the outline creation will work.

       

      What am I doing wrong?

       

      Thanks in advance and best regards
