When I edit the .png to a pink background, it shows like this:
 

Is there a way to solve this by getting a non-transparant signature from the U GUI ?

Hi Peter,

As mentioned here before, Crystal Reports indeed does not support transparent PNGs. Would it be an option to use DevExpress reports instead?

Alternatively, you could also convert the image to a different format or remove the transparency using an external service in a system flow.

Hi Peter,

I am running into the exact same problem. Did you find a creative solution yourself at the time or did you rebuild the report in DevExpress?

I am currently faced with the consideration of rebuilding the report in DevExpress or finding the solution using a process flow or task to convert the image from .png to .jpg.
