Hi, is there a way to create a transparent PDF, i.e. without the white background?
I want to import a PDF created by LaTeX into another software such that only the text (contents) is displayed without the white background.
Many thanks.

Transparent PDF Output
This is the default. I suspect the problem is within the program that imports the PDF.
Consider the following example. It shows that the text is overprinted and there is no white background that would hide the text underneath.
demo1.tex
demo2.tex
The file generated by running
pdflatex demo1.tex
pdflatex demo2.tex
pdftk demo1.pdf stamp demo2.pdf output demo.pdf
is attached.

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{article}\begin{document}This is the first document.\end{document}
