Hi

Sometimes when I save out an adobe illustrator file as a press ready
pdf, or even a normal pdf for that matter, I get a box around objects
that have a transparent background.

For example.  I will get, say, an image of a chilli pepper, chop it
out of it's background in Photoshop and put it on a transparent
background.  Then I open the psd file in Illustrator and paste the
image into my main document on, say, a black background.  All looks
well on the screen in the PDF but when you print it out it's as though
there is a darker black around the chilli where the bounding box is...
BUT IT'S TRANSPARENT.

Does anyone know what this could be

Thanks
