How to replace the checkered background in a vector image to get transparency effect?
How to remove the dreaded 'checkerboard' background. Open your 'Layers' palette (Window > Layers). If the checkerboard is on its own layer, select and delete it by clicking 'Delete Layer' from the top right hand flyaway menu. If the checkerboard isn't on its own layer, try clicking directly on the checkerboard itself.
