RE: SVG tiny

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your fast feedback.
Please find enclosed an archive named w3.rar with the concrete examples.

Until now I opened the .ai files (see: 01.ai enclosed) and then used the command File > Scripts > SaveDocsAsSVG.
They were saved in the SVG 1.1 format (<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC> "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN") (see: 01 script.svg enclosed).


Now, for the tiny format I tried:

1. Save As > SVG (*.SVG)
SVG Option: SVG Tiny 1.2 (see: 01 Save As.svg and D6B27C75.png enclosed)
And I received the following Adobe Illustrator alert:
"Transparent artwork is rasterized."
Also it embedded a rough .png file (which is unacceptable for my clients, they want only vector, no raster).

2. Save for Web and Services:
SVG > SVG Tiny 1.2 (see: 01 Save for Web.svg enclosed)
And, in the preview window, the transparency part is changed into opaque.

Please let me konw what should I do next.

Thank you,
Lia

SVG Tiny does support transparency, using the stroke-opacity,
fill-opacity and stop-opacity attributes, so this sounds like a tool
limitation. I don't have any specific suggestions for an alternate.
What are you using now, and what's the source format?
