I have just stated that if I insert a (partially) transparent PDF page in a PP presentation, the Presi secure and re-open, the image used (PDF page) now in the background is no longer white but black. I can not prevent this by assigning a background color to the image. I assume that the PowerPoint converts the transparent image while backing up, filling up all transparent elements with black. Can this be? Is there a trick to prevent this conversion? Or am I forced to work with JPEGs / PNGs?
