Slicing And Exporting PNG With Transparent Background CS4

Hi,

 

Sorry, I'm so version ancient... I'm coming from Corel so forgive if this is a noob question. Anyhoo...

 

A client gave me a PDF of a typical architectural floorplan; with various rooms in the building. My job is to slice it so that each room is a separate slice. Easy. But we need the background of each slice to be transparent. Essentially we want to overlay a line drawing outline of the rooms on a different background.

 

But when I save it as either a GIF or a PNG, it always saves the bg as -white-, regardless of how I try to set the transparency colour.

 

Now in Corel, if you save as a GIF or PNG and set the transparency colour to the -background- colour (white), the GIF or PNG auto-magically gets saved with a transparent bg. But this is not happening for me.

 

So... is there a way to save my GIF, PNG slices so that the white is automatically converted to transparency in each slice?

 

Or do I have to -manually- remove all the white in the main image (not looking forward to that!) and then slice?

 

TIA,

 

---JC
