I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just overlooking something obvious, but I'm having to use a workaround to get SetTransparency to work like I expect.

The problem occurs when I am using primarily FormFields but want to overlay the form with text.

I write the field values
Make a call to settransparency with a relatively high value (88) in this case.
Set the text size to a large value.

Call DrawrotatedText to print on the document.

Set the text size back to the original value
Call SetTransparency(0)

Now if I just flatten the fields and print the documents, the fields will use the proper text size, but the transparency is still 88 so they really don't show.

I can make this work by calling DrawRotatedText or just DrawText with a blank value after the SetTransparencly(0) and that apparently tickles the SetTransparency(0) to apply to the fields.

Am I overlooking something?
