I can only guess for the time being: I assume it is using the same
mechanism as for displaying/printing transparency (in the end
overprinting is just a special case of transparency). For displaying
transparency the answer clearly is: it depends. Simple vector overprints
will be done by vectors. Obviously this won't work for overprinting
images... I do not believe though that a whole page will be rasterized.
Rasterization will occur where finding vector graphics that do the trick
is too complex.

When you do that, does Acrobat rasterize the entire document (including
