Stop displaying transparency

To improve display performance, you can turn off the display of transparency. Turning off transparency on screen doesn’t turn off transparency for
printing or exporting the file.

Choose View > Display Performance > Fast Display.

Removing white box effect in documents with transparency

In some instances, a white box or ghost border appears where a transparency effect is applied, usually in documents that contain drop shadows
or gradients. This problem may occur if the transparency effect interacts with a spot color.

To fix this problem, you can either avoid using spot colors with transparency or you can turn on overprinting.

To view and print a PDF document without the white box effect, in Acrobat enable Simulate Overprinting. In Acrobat 9, choose Advanced > Print
Production > Output Preview. In Acrobat X, choose Tools > Print Production > Output Preview.

If you’re sending the document to a printer that’s experiencing this white box effect, ask the service provider to turn on PostScript Overprint at the
RIP. If this doesn’t work, you can flatten the transparency and select the Simulate Overprint option before you send the file. In InDesign, this option
is found on the Output panel of the Print dialog box when you select the Composite CMYK option.
