black box

[Dave F]

I have a page in Publisher with pie charts.
Any PDF or print of that page results in a black box instead of the chart.

Any good ideas?

Sending to a deskjet is fine.
Sending to a HP4250 is fine.

Any ideas?

I assume you've checked for updated printer drivers?

Also - what resolution is your image? Sometimes setting it too high can
cause that problem to occur.

This is an Excel Chart embedded into the Publisher document.
How would I check to see the res of the image? It is not really an image,
is it?

Try using the Microsoft Add-in. Instead of printing, save as....
2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...11-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en

You will sometimes get the black box if you copy/paste.

There is a good forum here that maybe helpful

That's a good question and I can't answer that. Have you tried pasting your
image into Paint then inserting it?

David -

Have you had any success with this? I've been doing some searching and have
seen others who have had similar results when they try to embed Excel data
into a Word document.

What program are you using to create the .pdf file? One solution, using
Acrobat, said:
"click on the "Adobe PDF" menu in the top menu of (File, Edit, View etc....)
then click on "Change Conversion Settings" , then UNCHECK "Enable
Accessibility and Reflow with Tagged PDF" , click okay"

I don't know if that will work for you but other posters in an Acrobat
newsgroup have had some success with that solution.

The issue doesn't always lie with only PDF.
I have been chasing this one down for days now and while I find some
posts...many attempt to blame the printer drivers.
As one astute user put it...that's the excuse they give when they have no
other answer.
I just opened an existing PUB file...inserted a new page...on that page
inserted an Excel Chart from the menu in PUB...entered my data, adjusted the
chart to how I wanted it to look and then simply printed it to a Xerox
Docucolor printer.
BLACK BOX
Printed the identical document to an HP 4250...I get the chart!
I repurpose the file to PDF...BLACK BOX.
This is gonna make this good boy start drinking heavily!!

I think we've all had files that have driven us to hit the bottle.

It's been a long-standing problem with no single solution. It happened to me
several years ago when I tried inserting an Excel budget into a Pub
newsletter. I don't remember how I resolved it tho. I've read other posts
where it happened in Word so it's not a Pub-exclusive problem.
