Additional Information

The PDF spec only allows for certain blend modes to be natively represented in a PDF layer. As such, layers with blend modes that are unsupported by the PDF spec must be rasterized to preserve the appearance of the blend. The PDF specification only supports: Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten, Color Dodge, Color Burn, Hard Light, Soft Light, Difference, and Exclusion. Other modes are rasterized when written to the PDF file format to preserve the appearance of the blend.
