  • Transparency processing

    In some cases, transparency may not be processed as intended.

    In some cases, drop shadow effects (shadow effects applied to text, shapes, etc.) applied to objects placed on rectangles with transparency processing may not be processed correctly.

  • Overprinting

    The overlaying parts of images will not be printed as intended.

  • PDF with security settings

    Cannot be printed.

  • 16-bit data or JPEG 2000 image data with transparency settings

  • Data with comments added

    Images cannot be printed if there is no data for displaying comments.

    Images cannot be printed with Free Layout plus V1.4x or earlier.
