Hi there,

pdf-s can mess up transparency. In general, they use alot of unnecessary grouping and clipping, and some cases masking too.
Cleaning up the file for editing can take some time.

My first guess would be there are some fill objects with 0 opacity values, that are rendered at 100%.
Try changing those to solid white/change to solid fill but lower the colour's alpha value instead of the object opacity.
