If you have the Adobe CS suite, dig around for a pdf file on one of the "additional" CDs. There is a technical file targetted at prepress providers that provides the best information I have seen on transparency and flattening.

I thought I had set Medium Resolution under Edit... Transparency Flattener Presets... But I now see that anything "chosen" in that box doesn't stick. In Export PDF, under Advanced, there is an area for TFP but it is grayed out. Medium appears in gray there. But under Summary, TFP carries a N/A. (There absolutely is transparency in the file.) Images are bicubic downsampled to 150 if over 225. Quality is maximum. Am taking the InDesign manual and Sandee Cohen's InDesign VQS books to lunch with me - to read about transparency and increase my ability to make use of your reply. TIA...
