REPRO!!!
you must be at least as old as me! LOL
PDF 1.4 does flatten to some degree. Not as much as v1.3.
From
Adobe Quote:
If a document contains transparent objects, Acrobat flattens the document before printing it. Flattening removes transparency information and converts images to a format the printer can interpret.
Here is a
Link to Adobes "Guide to Transparency". Check out page 3 about the flattening process.
hope this helps,
