Mnn!
This weekend has been an interesting (Not sure that's the right word)
experience, with my role as trouble shooter and problem fixer for her.
I seem to have spent a large amount of time fixing graphics/picture
problem in the documents.
She has some very nice illustrations she's put together over the years,
many of them are composits of two or three sprites put together in Draw,
and it works very well, with the resulting composit being put into the
OvPro document.
Printed out of OvPro the documents, including graphics, print perfectly
okay, but put them though a PDF process and any sprite transparencies used
in the graphic construct are just black areas.
It's *not* a problem for me to sort such things out, I've done quite a bit
of it over the years, but it did remind me of a conversation we had some
while back about your apps and Sprite and PNG transparency...

PS: I'm not making any great point of it, just remembering in passing.
