Blured Printout of Textfield Over Image

One way to work around this problem is to ensure that the image the  
field is in front of does not have either a 1-bit mask or an alpha- 
mask. If an image has either of these, the part of the stack within  
its bounds will be rasterized first and then printed - resulting in  
everything above also being rasterized causing the 'ugly shadow' you  
have observed.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
