Opacity for Images

Hello everyone,

we are currently in the process of setting up a new workflow for one of our customers.
The customer is supplying us with URLs of images which are set dynamically in the template for each record. We receive an URL for the white version and a black version of the image. The problem is the customer wants the images to be silverish. That’s why we tried to apply opacity to the images. This looks fine in the preview but after printing to PDF with the Generic PDF printer from Connect all the images are back to black/white. Its like opacity is not applied. Any ideas on how to fix that behaviour?

Kind regards
Malte

Hello @M.Tramsen,

Welcome to our OL Forum community!

Can you let us know please what version of OL Connect you are using? Because I am getting the expected output when I put two entirely black images on top of each other and run a print (model: Generic PDF) via the OL Connect Enterprise version 2025.2.1 Designer application.

Source code print section:

<img src="file:///C:/Workspace/Resources/black.png" style="width: 225pt; height: 150pt; opacity: 0.5;">
<img src="file:///C:/Workspace/Resources/black.png" anchor="page_media_0" style="width: 225pt; height: 150pt; position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; opacity: 0.5;" offset-x="137.79999923706055" offset-y="137.79999923706055">
