What type of Adobe file? There's a lot of them.

Assuming PDF; if you have Adobe Acrobat or one of the free PDF creators
(CutePDF, PrimoPDF etc...) you would PRINT to the creator.

If you have installed MS PDF add-in you would Publish as pdf in Publisher.
File | Publish as PDF or XPS...and this may also depend on WHAT version of
Publisher you have.

So?,,,,exactly what are you trying to do, and which version of Publisher do
you have?

Acrobat PDF? What version Publisher? Do you have Acrobat?
File, print, Adobe PDF.
If you don't have Acrobat try a third party converter such as www.primopdf.com

On this topic, why does text in the pdf file turn out black? Images
are fine, on the same page (Publisher 2007).

I use Acrobat and this is not happening to my publications. Have you tried the
*save as* add-in?

Chris,

Adobe Acrobat has an option: "...Print Color As Black (Windows) Forces all
nonwhite color to print as black. This option is useful for printing
engineering drawings that have lightly colored lines...."

Thanks Mary. Yes, I installed that so I could save the pub file as a
pdf - which the local print shop likes. I've also changed the colour
system from RGB to CYK or whatever it is, with no apparent effect.
The text is simple text in a pub text box which I changed to blue,
and as I said other images on the page show up as expected in full
colour in the pdf.

Charles, no I don't use Acrobat, just the Publisher 'save as pdf...'
add-in.

I found one link in Google which asked the same question,
unfortunately deemed 'off-topic' in the forum where it was asked, so
no answer forthcoming!

Can the font you are using be embedded? There is a check-off on the advanced
button about bitmap conversion of fonts.

It's a True-type font (Rockwell) so should be ok; I tried the 'Save
As' both with embedded checked and with it not. Always came out
black. I tried a line or two in MS-Word, saved as pdf, sure enough
the pdf showed coloured text! What is going on?
