Not able to print items with a gradient to transparent
Alright team, lets see if we can solve this one - its stumped three Microsoft support people so far. Have an image. I've placed a rectangular shape over this with a gradient from white to transpa...
Stefan_Blom sadly no, this does not work. Thank you for the suggestion!
Are you saying that the PDF does not display the gradient correctly?
Or does the PDF display correctly but it doesn't print correctly?
Stefan_Blom when I export to PDF, the same issue is apparent. If I take a screenshot of the gradient/word file, I can print that no issues, but anything to do with printing/exporting will set the gradient issue off.
Is the original document saved in the *.docx format? Here (Word 2021, version 2307), I can set transparency for (part of) a shape with gradient colors:
and that formatting survives saving as a PDF:
Stefan_Blom This is what I am trying to do. I have done it previously as well! Yes, the file was created and saved in docx format.
