ABSTRACT:
A method to generate image transparency in a file created from a print stream includes accessing a source file of a source application, extracting transparency information from an image within the source file to generate a non-transparent image prior to generating a print stream based on the source file, and replacing the transparency information in a print file generated utilizing the print stream.
