[xep-support] Filetypes for Background Images

I am trying to add a background image to a block with a coloured background
with XEP 4.1

I want the image to have a part which is 50% white (semitransparent) so that
the background colour of the block will show through.

When using an SVG the semitransparent white just appears as white.

If I try a PDF I get an error:

    (sequence [master-reference two-col-landscape]

      (flow [11])

      (static-content
[11]|right-edge||right-header|java.lang.ClassCastException

Many thanks
