Color changes when I publish to PDF
I have prepared an A0 sized poster in MS Publisher but when I go to Publish
it to PDF all the Blue and Red Text boxes change to black. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I am using MS Publisher 2007 -- Cheers Rob |

Are you using the Microsoft add-in? Try a different converter, see if that solves your problem. There are many free converters around. www.primopdf.com is mentioned here often. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Robbo" wrote in message ...

Color changes when I publish to PDF
Hi Mary,
Thanks for the comment. Yes I was using the addin. I have tried CutePDF as well as PrimoPDF. Both reproduce the colors correctly but they won't reproduce some of the other images correctly. At least you have alerted me to where the problem lies. It sounds like there's probably not much more I can do. I'll see if the printer has a more reliable PDF converter. -- Cheers Rob "Mary Sauer" wrote: Are you using the Microsoft add-in? Try a different converter, see if that solves your problem.

Color changes when I publish to PDF
Hi,
Thanks for the ongoing feedback. Your solution has led me to better understand the limitations of Publisher. 1) I have created an A0 poster. The printer has asked me to give him a file that is 300DPI but I cannot save a document that size at that resolution in PNG Format. 2) I found in one of the help pages that images with transparency won't convert well to PDF and they are the ones I am having problems with. It suggests grouping those items together, saving them as an Bitmap and inserting the picture. Unfortunately that too is too big to save I think I will just take what I have to the printer and see if there's anything he can do, otherwise it's back to the drawing board or see how a 150 DPI image looks -- Cheers Rob "Robbo" wrote: I have prepared an A0 sized poster in MS Publisher but when I go to Publish it to PDF all the Blue and Red Text boxes change to black.
