Unlike ArcGIS (which simply creates a completely opaque drop box, not really a drop shadow), Illustrator gives you a wide range of controls for the size, direction, type, opacity, and color of your Drop Shadows. If you want to make an entire layer or group of layers transparent you can select the entire layer in the Layers panel and then adjust the Opacity.Alternatively, you can also adjust the Opacity on the Stroke panel (choose Stoke from the Window menu).On the top tool bar adjust the Opacity slider (or enter a number) as desired.Using the Selection tool select the object you wish to make transparent.The process for setting transparency (or Opacity) in Adobe is basically the same for any object (features, layers, text, graphic objects.).It is also not possible at all to set the transparency of the text or of graphic features (text or legend box backgrounds, etc.). While ArcGIS allows you to set the transparency of a feature layer it is relatively difficult to apply transparencies to individual features. Transparency (for features, text, objects.)
In most cases, the goal of an effect is that map reader does not even notice the effect as an effect, they simply find the map easier to read and more appealing to look at. Note that these effects, like any cartographic enhancement, should be used sparingly.
Feel free to experiment with any of the items listed under the Effects menu. There are LOTS of other effects in Illustrator. For the most part, these are tricks that are relatively easy in Illustrator and relatively difficult in ArcGIS.
