Cfdocument - PDF with clear/transparent background?

I would like to generate a PDF file using cfdocument that has
a completely clear / transparent background. Is this possible?
Right now, I get a white "bounding box". Your help is
appreciated.

There is an attribute of the cfdocument tag of
backgroundvisible = "yes" or "no", not sure if that will help.
I use the background="image.jpg" of the body tag to adjust
the background of the outputted pdf file.

How do I export a keynote slide to pdf with a transparent background?

I use Keynote for creating figures for a report I'm currently writing and layouting in Adobe InDesign.
Unfortunately I have run in to a quite annoying problem.
Because of the page-layout and background graphics in my main report, I need to be able to export the figures without the white background which comes as standard. I tried to remove the background in "Master & layout" (my Keynote is in Danish, not sure if it's called the same in English), which is suggested to bring background transparency when exporting to Quicktime movies. I doesn't seem to have any effect when exporting to pdf though.
When importing the pdf's into InDesign the figures comes up with a white background instead of the wanted transparent.
My choice of pdf over png is because of the vector graphics.
Is it possible to export to pdf's with a transparent background?

One option would be to export the slides as image files and bring them in Pages in that format.

How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
" The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

Is it possible to have video with a transparent background in dps?

Is it possible to have video with a transparent background in dps?. Basically i've animated some elements in apple motion and want to incorporate them as an overlay (with the indesign page background showing through).

You could do it with an image sequence but AFAIK there’s no support for alpha channels in video.

Exporting to PDF with Vector/Transparency issues? (huge file)

Hi folks
I have a 36 page magazine in Indesign which has a lot of illustrator images placed in, some of which have transparency applied. The images are xmas icons and there are 10 or so on each illustrator file so there are only 3/4 illustrator files placed but they are done many times over within the Indesign file.
When I export to PDF the file size is huge. 154mb. I am sure it is to do with the vectors/transparency, but dont know how to correct this to bring the PDF file size down. Any ideas?
Thanks

To echo Peter's response, 154 MB for a 36 page magazine is not necessarily all that large, especially if the content is graphically rich.
There is some information you are not providing us. For example, how are you bringing in the Illustrator artwork? And with what settings are you exporting PDF?
In the first case, the most efficient way to bring Illustrator content into InDesign is to save the Illustrator artwork as PDF/X-4 and place the resultant file into InDesign. InDesign is more likely to reuse the content for PDF export if the content is placed in that manner.
In the second case, content with transparency can yield very bloated PDF if you export PDF with flattened transparency such as you would get with the PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3 export settings from InDesign (or for the Illustrator-based imported content, PDF saved from Illustrator with such settings). Again, we recommend PDF/X-4 for PDF export maintaining live transparency and original color spaces with ICC profiles and avoiding the bloat caused by transparency flattening and conversion of RGB to CMYK.

How to save a clip with a transparent background?

How do i save a clip with a transparent background to export to quicktime and then be able to import it back into my timeline and have it be able to overlay ontop of another clip? Transparent clip is for lower third

For transparency to work, you need to save it in a format that has an alpha channel. Not sure if FCE supports the Animation codec but if it does you'll want your material as "millions of colors +". The "+" means Alpha.

How can I save file in Photoshop with an transparent background as an eps

Insert an image button with a transparent background?

I would like to be able to use an image button with a
transparent background. I have converted my graphic files to .gifs
with transparent backgrounds. But when imported into Captivate,
they have a white background. If I insert as an image button and
check "transparent" it turns the entire image transparent. Is it
possible to have a transparent background when using the image
button functionality in Captivate? Thanks!

I still cannot get this work. Does anyone have anymore help?
I have .gif files for the image button with a transparent
background. When I insert into Captivate as an image I can click
the option for a transparent background, and the image appears in
my Captivate project with a transparent background. Now, what I
really want to do is insert this into my project as a button. I
insert this into Captivate as an image button (there is no option
for a transparent background) and the image appears in my Captivate
project with a white background. Is it possible to have an image
button with a transparent background? Do I need to do a workaround
(something like, use my image along with a transparent button or
clickbox on top of the image?) Thanks for the help.

Combine jpegs to create PDF with blank page background

Hello, I have hundreds of newspaper scans of various sizes, same dpi, and I want to combine them to create one PDF with each of them on a blank 8.5 x 11 background page? like in a scrapbook. Is this possible using only acrobat? Or does it need to be done on a program like indesign? Appreciate any thoughts.

Here's a script that you can use to create the blank document with a button on each page. When a page is clicked, it will prompt you to import an image (it defaults to PDF, so select JPG from the from the dropdown) to use for the icon. You can set the "num_pages" variable from 100 to whatever amount you need. To run the script, open the JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), copy the entire script below, paste it into the console, select all of the lines, and press Ctrl+Enter. This will run the script and the result will be a 100 page PDF:
// Start of script
// Create a new document and make the page a template
var newDoc = app.newDoc({nHeight: 11 * 72, nWidth: 8.5 * 72});
var t1 = newDoc.createTemplate("t1", 0);
// Add a button to the template and set the various properties
var f = newDoc.addField("icon", "button", 0, [0, 11 * 72, 8.5 * 72, 0]);
f.buttonPosition = position.iconOnly;
f.borderStyle = border.s; // Solid
f.buttonAlignX = 50;
f.buttonAlignY = 50;
f.buttonFitBounds = true;
f.buttonScaleHow = scaleHow.proportional;
f.buttonScaleWhen = scaleWhen.tooBig;
f.lineWidth = 0;
f.fillColor = color.transparent;
f.strokeColor = color.transparent;
f.setAction("MouseUp", "event.target.buttonImportIcon();");
// Create multiple pages based on the template
var num_pages = 100;
for (var i = 0; i < num_pages; i += 1) {
t1.spawn(i, true, false);
// Remove the template page
newDoc.deletePages(newDoc.numPages - 1);
// End of script
Save the file that is generated. After you populate all the buttons by clicking on each page, you can flatten the pages by entering the following line in the console and executing it as you did with the previous script:
// Convert button appearances to regular page contents.
flattenPages();
Save to a different file and you should have what you want. Post again if anything isn't working.
Note that it would be possible to automatically import the images, but you'd need to create a list of the files you want to import and amend the script a bit. If interested, I could show an example of how you'd do this.

Save picture with keeping transparent background

How can I save a picture as JPEGG and keep de transparent background?

You can not as jpg does not support Transparency.
You might be able to save it with a Path and use the Path in a layout application but that is technically not proper Transparency.
For that you would need to save the image in a file format that does support it (psd, png24, …).

How do I import a graphic with a transparent background.

Being new to FinalCut Studio 6, I'm still using iMovie HD (6.0.4) for projects I need to get out quickly. I need to import a graphic to use in opening titles. I have it in .eps, .psd, and .png files. So far I can import it but end up with a black background. I need to be able to put the graphic in front of video clips so need the graphic to act like a title with no background or transparent.
Any suggestions.
I know I need a FCP training etc. But am hoping to get this project out today or by the end of the weekend. Thanks in advance for help.

a-l-i is right, not possible in iMHD6.. (iM08 supports this 'effect').
you can use QuicktimePro for overlaying grafics ..
