Transparent objects are created in the design software and can be preserved during the Prinergy refine process. In the 1stRef-Normz process template, the Normalize section provides the following options:

• Flatten to PDF 1.3: Prinergy will detect and flatten all files with native PDF 1.4-1.6 transparency using the highest quality setting.
• Leave as is: Prinergy will detect and preserve transparency in PDF 1.4 or later files.
• Fail: Prinergy will detect but fail when encountering transparent objects.
