...when saving in .tga format. When I click on "Save as" and then targa format, it does this:

There's no problem saving the alpha channel in PDF format.

It's probably because you have a PSD or jpg with the same name in the same folder. Try saving it to another folder.

I appreciate your help, but I have found the solution myself and it was a bit different than what you suggested. Apparently, the standard Ps7 can't save the alpha channel in a .tga format because of an error in the targa plug-in that makes it save the transparency instead. The solution was a fixed plug-in available from adobe.com. Problem solved happy:
