When adding a watemark with transparency less than 100% the documents will not print. An error will happen during the flattening phase and both adobe reader and adobe acrobat will crash. I've tried this with different printers and different drivers. It seems they work if you use a Poscript printer driver. But that is not a soultion because my customers don't necessarily have Postcript drivers installed.
Does anybody know of a fix or workaround for this?
I would really appreciate any help.

I am making two assumptions in this answer:
1. You are adding the watermark with Acrobat—not a third party tool.
2. The flattening you refer to is during the printing—not using the Flattener in Acrobat Professional.
If so, then:
If you have Acrobat 8 Professional, you might try using the Flattener to flatten the transparency in the file before you print or deliver it. This will perminantly convert the watermark to simple page contents.
It shouldn't be neccessary to do so, so you should also check the problem on another system.

Thanks for answering.
Both your assumptions are correct.
I tried using the flattener but it doesn't fix the problem. It could be that the error generates just after the flatening phase while printing. Could it be that we are using windows 2000?
You don't have this problem in your system?

According to the 8.1.3 Release Notes, this issue was corrected in this update.
