Transparency I KNOW how to make the background of an IMAGE transparent. But is there ANY WAY to make the background--the page ITSELF--transparent? For example, if I want just a black box, if I make a black box (and I'm in page layout mode) and then I save it, then save it as a pdf, then open that pdf in preview, and then turn it into a PNG, if I then take that PNG and place it in a Pages doc (in layout mode), I don't get JUST a black box, I get the big white square of the page that I put the box on. Is it just impossible to make that transparent?

Exporting 3D text as a still with transparent background? I've made some 3D metallic gold titles for a film. I want to be able to export the text alone with a transparent background so the publicity people can use it for doing graphics, posters, etc. FCPX does a beautiful job on the text itself. This would save me the agony of redoing the titles in Photoshop et al. I've set the Player Background as 'Checkerboard', and am exporting out a .png file. But the results don't give me a transparent background. I know I can do it as a movie, exporting with Apple ProRes 4444 ... but then I still have the problem of turning it into a still. All ears for any suggestions ... Ben

I am very concerned about this. I do not think printers/publishers want to see jpegs at all.

I recommend you talk to your publisher/printer about this.

They may want to have postscript, so that they can freely re-arrange them to 2-up or flip them around and back-to-back odds/evens to make signatures. Depends on the size of the run and what equipment they are using.
