Transparency for PDFs in Arc


Trying to generate a vector-based PDF map, which includes transparencies, for quality purposes. However, I'm finding that transparencies get rasterized instead and is lower quality.


Is there any solution to this other than exporting the PDF to Illustrator and manually applying transparencies there?
