As I understand it transparency is available in recent versions of 
PDF, certainly in PDF 1.6 and probably going back to PDF 1.4 (I 
haven't checked.) 

In the USA printers are increasingly insisting on PDF X/1-a:2001, a 
standard that doesn't allow for transparency or gradients. It makes 
our job harder and theirs easier.
