Hello David, Only the odt made it to the list, the pdf's not (filtered away). I would say it's normal that the white from the boxes with the names shines through since you scanned them with this white background... Another solution: can't you find the font used for the Kimberley and David and simply type the names, instead of scanning them with the white background? Or instead of white use a similar colour to the one of the background image?
