My god, you speak PDF! Think I'm going to have to learn to do likewise. Did you use a tool to 'look into' the PDF to help you diagnose this? When I look at the PDF in a text editor, everything is compressed, so I can't see the underlying operators. Yuck. Had a horrible feeling this was a white background issue :( Can you share any pointers as to how best to tackle this? Feels like I need to poke around in the PDF streams and remove any rectangles that look like they cover the whole background? Given my current level of skill with PDF etc, that's a heck of a challenge for me at the moment - can you give me any pointers as to where to start? In particular, it'd be good to understand which APIs to use to 'crack open' the relevant content stream in the PDF? I can see that I'd probably need to get hold of - and then filter - an instance of PDFStream, but it's not totally clear to me how to find the right stream in the first place. Thanks very much for your help with this...
