Using Transparency with fonts
The Transparency property works with fonts, but only on screen. Text with transparent properties appears blurry in PDF files. The transparent text does not display in print unless you use True Type fonts.

setting = dw_1.Object.cb_1.Transparency dw_1.Object.cb_1.Transparency = 50
