Pulisher to .PDF

[nona48]

I have published many .PDF from Publisher in the past and have never had this
problem before. When I save a .PDF file it loses the color of my text. Has
anyone had this problem before. It is new to me.

You need to set your DEFAULT printer to a color printer

Howard, it is set to my color printer. I am using Publisher 2007 and I am on
Windows XP. I have been doing this for about a year now and never had a
problem until the last month or so. I use the .pdf to put on our club website
so that those opting out of our printer newsletter can look at their on
copies online. I want all of our urls to appear in blue. When I save to .pdf
it is turning them black. The only thing that I can think of that I have done
differently is download the new Adobe Acrobat Reader 9. My color printer is
a Epson Photo R200 and it is the default and I do not have black text
seleted.

JoAnn, I am using Publisher 2007 with the downloadable plug in for creating
..pdf files. I have only had this problem for about a month. Before then it
was publishing my documents correctly. What I mean by loss of color is that
when I publish anything that has colored text (other than black) it is
changed to black text. It is black when you view the document in Adobe
Acrobat Reader. The Publisher .pub is still in color. My printer default is
my color print and my printer is set to print in color. I want my document as
a .PDF so that it can be viewed by all the members of my club online and all
my urls in our newsletter will still be in blue type.

That is strange! I can readily switch from grey fonts to colour fonts simply
by swopping my default printer from my mono printer to my colour printer.

And JANU had exactly the same experience when he tried it - as he has
reported in 'Font changed color', eight problems lower down on here.

I had also changed to the new Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 at about the same time
as I had the problem, but I don't think that was the cause - because I can
get coloured fonts when my colour printer is the default.

I am using Publisher 2007 in conjunction with Vista Ultimate (64-bit).

nona48 - do you actually mean 'black' fonts, or grayscale? In my experience
they change from colour to gray.

Howard, thanks so much for your help. I really feel like a goof ball right
now. My printer has always been set to the color printer as default. So I
assumed that it had not changed. For some reason it was changed. When I
switched it back the problem is solved. LOL Thank you so much.
