transparency is not supported by writer, as it uses a jpeg2000 isfai understand .

Cloning objects to as many pages is correct.

But you need to use the counter as pagenumber.SO you must setpdf_page_number(for multipage pdf) on the obejcts that need to be on the same page.

else fan-out on layer name

For instance using a cloner and the a featuremerger.

Page units can be calculated.Extract bounding box (or rasterextent) and calculate (1inch/72points) to get worldframe size.

I seem to recall there being an issue with using transparent png's in PDF.Can you try with jpg's instead, see if that makes a difference?
