Convert PDF to XPS in VB.NET using Aspose.PDF | watermark becomes solid instead of transparent

[Zachpeterson4]

When converting my pdf file to a xps file I encounter a weird effect where the, initially transparent, pdf watermark becomes filled and is solid. Not sure what I am missing here but there has to be a way to fix this as other converters do not have this weird interaction.

My code I am using is as follows:

        Using document As New Aspose.Pdf.Document(PDFFilePath)
            Dim saveXPSOpt As New Aspose.Pdf.XpsSaveOptions()
            document.Save(XPSFilePath, saveXPSOpt)

            document.Dispose()
        End Using

I may have to add something in the saveoptions but I am not sure what will result in transparent watermarks
