Font color issues in published output

I have just upgraded a couple of older Captivate projects to 5.5. 
On some of the slides I have click boxes set to open URLs when clicked, and I have colored the text blue and underlined it so that it looks like a hyperlink.
When viewing the published content I've noticed that my hyperlink text is black, instead of blue. 
Has anyone run into this issue before?  I've searched the forums and couldn't easily find any references to this issue, although this is not the first time I've seen this problem with my courses.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Brian

Rod, thank you so much for the reply.
The blue is just your standard #0000FF blue, which should be safe with 8 bit quality, and the slides were set to 8 bit quality the last time they were published (and worked) in an older version Captivate.  Kind of weird, right?
BUT, being the optimist that I am, I took your suggestion and tried setting one of the slides to 24 bit, and the blue is blue once again rather than black!  Very bizarre, but faster than the work around I had found yesterday so I'm probably going to roll with it.  I found that changing the slide quality to 24 bit has a minimal impact on the size of the published swf file, so I'm good.
Again, oddly enough, my work around mentioned above involves changing the default caption style to what Captivate calls "default caption capture style".  With my caption style set as this my blue is blue, even with the slide quality set at 8 bit.  I took one of my older courses and went through changing all of the caption styles.  Took me a little while as changing the caption style changes the font, font color, font styles, font sizes, paragraph alignment settings, etc., etc.
And on a side track, I got to thinking after I noticed that changing the caption style seemed to fix the font color issue...  My original project used a custom caption style, one that I had not yet "reinstalled" since upgrading to Captivate 5.5.  So, I added the custom caption styles, even changed the name of the caption style and tried to reapply it, but no dice.
It seems that, with the slide quality set at 8 bit, if I use a caption style of "default caption style", my blue is black on publish.  But, if I use a different caption style, such as "default capture caption style", my blue is blue, even at 8 bit quality.

  • Font color issue with inserted HTML content in JTextPane (HTMLEditor)

    Hi everyone,
    I have a very serious issue with the HTMLEditor I'm developping. This editor is a little bit special since it is intended to edit blocks of HTML content that are loaded when the editor is initialized.
    You can in fact decide to keep this loaded HTML content or start a new HTML document from scratch. Alright, now my issue is the following :
    When text is loaded, it's properly rendered. I have a functionality which let's you see the HTML code from the HTML document used in the editor, so I can check and see if code is correct, and yes, it's correct.
    The problem is that when I try to change the color attribute of some text on my loaded content, nothing happens ! I don't know what's the matter with this bug, I only have it with the color attribute, with every other attribute everything's fine (font, size, etc.)
    The funny thing is that, after I change another attribute for loaded content, like font family, then changing color attribute funcionnality starts to work again !
    I've also noticed that I don't have any of these problems when I start my HTMLDocument from scratch (when I create a new HTML document and start typing text).
    Another weird thing, is that I have a feed-back feature in my editor which reflects attributes for text over which the caret is positionned. For example, if you put caret over red text, the color combo box displays a red value, you know, just like in MS Word. Well, with my loaded content if I have a red text color and I decide to put it in green, the color combo box displays the green value when I click over text for which I have changed color, but in my JTextPane it's still red !! And when I try to see the HTML code generated nothing has changed, everything is still red !
    There is something really strange here, this means that when I get the attributes of the loaded text from the HTMLDocument, color appears to be green, but when it gets rendered in the JTextPane it's still red and when it gets anlyzed to produce the corresponding HTML code, these changed attributes are not taken into account.
    But the most weird thing above all, is that I don't have this bug everytime, sometimes I start my HTML editor applet and it works fine, and some other times this color issue is bakc there. Is this a known bug for Swing API or not ?
    =============
    This is more or less my technique :
    //I declare a global reference to my HTMLDocument
    HTMLDocument _docHTMLDoc;
    //Create a JTextPane
    JTextPane _tpaEditor = new JTextPane( );
    //Set type content to automatically select HTMLEditorKit
    _tpaEditor.setContentType("text/html");
    //Get a referene to its HTMLEditorKit
    HTMLEditorKit _kitHTMLEditor = (HTMLEditorKit) _tpaEditor.getEditorKit( );
    //I then have a function to create new documents
    void newDocument(){
      _docHTMLDoc = (HTMLDocument) _kitHTMLEditor.createDefaultDocument();
      _tpaEditor.setDocument(_docHTMLDoc);
       //I do other stuff wich are not important to be shown here
    //I then have another function to load content
    void loadContent(){
       //I get content from a HashMap I initialized when I started my applet
       String strContent = (String)_mapInitParameters.get("html_content");
       //I set content for my editor
       _tpaEditor.setText(strContent);
    //Notice.. I have tried many other ways to load this text : via HTMLEditorKit and its insertHTML method, I
    //have also tried to store this content in some reader and make HTMLEditorKit read it... and nothing,
    // I always get the bug
    //To change color it goes like this :
    JComboBox _cboColor = new JComboBox();
    //I correctly initialize this combo with colors
    //then I do something like this
    ActionListener _lst = new ActionListener(){
       public void actionPeformed(ActionEvent e){
          Color colSel = (Color) _cboColor.getSelectedItem();
          MutableAttributeSet mas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
          StyleConstants.setForeground(mas,colSel);
          setAttributeSet(mas);
    _cboColor.addActionListener(_lst);
    //Set Attributes goes something like this
    private void setAttributeSet(javax.swing.text.AttributeSet atrAttributeSet) {       
            //Get current 'End' and 'Start' positions
            int intCurrPosStart = _tpaEditor.getSelectionStart();
            int intCurrPosEnd = _tpaEditor.getSelectionEnd();
            if(intCurrPosStart != intCurrPosEnd){
                //Apply attributes to selection
                _docHTMLDoc.setCharacterAttributes(intCurrPosStart,intCurrPosEnd - intCurrPosStart,atrAttributeSet,false);
            else{
                //No selection : apply attributes to further typed text
                MutableAttributeSet atrInputAttributes = _kitHTMLEditor.getInputAttributes();
                atrInputAttributes.addAttributes(atrAttributeSet);

    hi, friend!
    try this:
    void setAttributeToText(JTextPane pane, int start, int end, Color color) {
    MutableAttributeSet new_att = new SimpleAttributeSet();
    StyleConstants.setForeground(new_att,color);
    HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument();
    doc.setCharacterAttributes(start,end,new_att,false);
    It works fine in my Application, hope will work in yours, too.
    good luck.

  • Font color issue with animated text in Captivate 5

    When I prepare a new animated text and open the property and then click the square to choose a color , I only get a  little part of the color panel (when I click the color box) and I have  no possibilities to enter the color code either:
    I'm working with a Windows XP, 64 bits desktop and I have Captivate 5 version 5.0.1.624.
    Any ideas to solve this issue would be appreciated as it is becoming urgent for me.

    @Lieve: You're on the French version of Captivate 5 aren't you?
    Can you provide a screenshot of what the Animated Text font colour dialog looks like on your PC and upload it here?
    This is what that box looks like for me:
    It seems that on this user's PC the colour picker isn't able to float on top of the dialog as it should.
    I encouraged Valerie to post her issue on this forum in the hope that one of the Captivate developer technicians would chime in with a possible solution.  I think this one has got to be some kind of bug due to a language version of Cp.

  • Font Color Issue

    I'm unable to specify a color for links in iWeb. I'm making my links blue in iWeb, but when the page is published, either to mobile me or to a local disk, the color is the default color, which is gray. My text color is also not the specific (web safe) color of gray that I'm specifying.
    This is getting frustrating, you'd think iWeb would be way more flexible in its presentation, using CSS or something, to make things look the way we want. . .

    If the colors are OK in iWeb try deleting the preference file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist and maybe restarting your Mac before republishing.

  • TypeKit Fonts Not Displaying When Published to Web

    Hello everyone.  After noodling around the forums, I found the method for using non-Edge fonts from TypeKit in a Muse site.  For some reason, however, it doesn't seem to work.  My workflow if below.  Is there something I'm missing?  Is there a specific font I should be using in Muse in the hopes it gets overwritten by TypeKit?
    1. Setup and publish TypeKit.
         a. Added Adobe Garamond Pro as font.
         b. Created selector of .body_garapro for that font.
         c. Publish changes.
    2. In Muse:
         a. Copy embed code from TypeKit into Head via page properties for Master Page.
         b. Create paragraph style called body_garapro.  (In this paragraph style, I tried using good old web safe font Arial and the edge web font Garamond EB.  In either case neither was replaced.  I made sure not to use a system font to avoid the image output issue.)
         c. Export site as HTML, upload via FTP to domain entered into TypeKit...and no TypeKit replacement.
    I also made sure that my test text had no overrides and was using the straight body_garapro paragraph style.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    In the web template properties there was a setting named "Force Variable Screen Display" make sure it is checked.

  • Color issues in Mountain Lion with Acrobat Pro

    I'm not sure I'm in the right forum, but here it goes.
    Since upgrading my OS to Mountain Lion, I've noticed  when viewing PDFs output from InDesign 5.5 that once in Acrobat Pro the colors look muted and inaccurate.  I never saw this in Snow Leopard, hence my posting.  Color in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS5.5 seem just fine, it's only when a PDF is viewed in Acrobat that I see this muted color issue. 
    What I'm concerned with is are these problems when viewing only, or is the PDF color range itself screwed up?  I do prepress work and am using an Eizo CG241 display, CS5.5 and Acrobat Pro 10.1.4.
    Thanks!

    If you are using a calibrated display, the calibration software should set your Displays>Color profile for you. Mine is set to "PA271W 0610738UA 2012-11-14 14-57", which is the name of the profile created by the calibration software. This is where color temperature, gamma, and color corrections are stored (in my case for prepress work at 5000K and 1.8 gamma).
    Sorry about this long-winded posting, but I think the last few paragraphs may help make some progress, and I must first digress to get to them...
    Control of color profiles embedded in my PDF files is done in Adobe Creative Suite (verson 6 at this time). I use Bridge to synchronize the suite. North American Web/Internet is for files going to the web and I apply sRGB to those files when opening them (if they aren't already sRGB). North American Prepress 2 is for files going to a printing press, and I apply Adobe RGB to files when opening them (if they aren't already Adobe RGB).
    Files for the web are saved using Photoshop's "Save for Web..." command, which is set to sRGB and uses the Document Profile for a preview.
    Files for print are converted to CMYK and placed in InDesign or Illustrator, where they are saved as PDF/X-1a files, which are CMYK and those values are preserved (not color managed). I should note that before that point, during client proofs, the files are placed as Adobe RGB. They are replaced by CMYK images before making a PDF/X-1a file for the printing press. Either way, the files display correctly and identically (except for any color gamut differences) regardless of color mode or application. (This is color management working correctly.) Except for Acrobat and Reader.
    Until CS6, all PDF files would be displayed by Acrobat identically to how they appeared in the originating application (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Now all PDF files are darker, more drab, and shifted slightly toward blue.
    Here's the weird thing. No matter what I do, even if I start with an sRGB file and save it as a Photoshop PDF using the Save for Web command, so it has been sRGB throughout the process, when the PDF file is viewed in Acrobat or Reader it is darker, more drab, and shifted slightly toward blue.
    My first hypothesis was that Acrobat and Reader were applying sRGB to everything. But that appears to be wrong. Now I'm thinking that it's my calibrated display profile that is being ignored. And since it is calibrated for 5000K and 1.8 gamma, that is what explains the big shift in darkness, vividness, and color. It may be that the display profile, not the embedded color profile, is all that matters!
    If so, a good experiment would be to calibrate one of your displays for 5000K and 1.8 gamma. If Acrobat and Reader are ignoring the display profile, you should see a very obvious difference in displayed PDF files compared to displays using 6500K and 2.2 gamma (which is just about everyone these days, except for publishing professionals who do exacting print work).
    Sheesh!

  • Fonts look dull when published

    I recently published my website to my new server. The font colors are extremely dull.. the contrast seems to be off. Even when just using white text on black background, the white text within iWeb is nice and crisp, but looks very dull, sort of photocopied-like when viewed in Firefox or Safari. Photos and jpegs in general seem to be okay. Anyone have similar issues? Thanks.
    -Scott

    No, there are no publishing problems. I agree with star-fish on dark backgrounds and light text. At least for these old eyes that is a terrible combination, hard on the eyes causing eye strain. I do realize, however, that I'm no longer the target audience for most of what's out there these days except perhaps for Depends, denture adhesives, etc.
    I've found that for dark backgrounds fonts like Times New Roman snap out better than those like Arial, sans serf. You might experiment with different font as well as different boldness, etc.

  • My Excel with PowerPivots acts weird, it hangs when i try to change font color

    Hi 
    I am facing a weird issue using PowerPivot in my workbook, there is a worksheet named Charts in my workbook and all the charts i am using resides in that worksheet. Whenever i try to change the font color in that sheet, my excel's color palette goes blur
    and then everything just freezes and turns black. This problem is happening only with Charts worksheet, when i try to change the color in other sheets, it works just, the problem is only with Charts sheet. File

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Do you receive any error message?
    Which Excel version are you using?  Excel 2013 or other?
    Which workbook format are you using? XLS or XLSX?
    Are you performing any specific task?
    According to your description, this issue seems only occur with the special worksheet "Charts".
    Firstly, I recommend we copy all of the content to a new/blank Excel file to test.
    If it works fine, this issue might be caused by the "Charts" workbook itself. We'd better check the "Charts" workbook. Or re-build the file with a new workbook.
    If it still makes Excel hang with a new file, this issue might due to the content. Please check the content first.
    Secondly, we could follow below KB to troubleshoot this issue:

  • Change font color in reports depending on condition

    I have an application that generates a number of new records at
    the click of a button, which the user can then modify through

  • How do I change the font color for numbering in a matching question slide?

    I have a grey image on a question slide, but the numbering for the answers in a matching question is defaulting to grey so learners can't see to match up.  How can I change the font color of these choices?  Thanks.

    You probably edited the master slide without changing the theme colors? Check the Object Style for Answers in the Object Style Manager. The numbering takes the same color as the answer text.
    All depends on the Theme colors palette that you are using. Normally Question answers use the darkest tint of the fourth color. I started blogging about color management, but description of the use of Theme colors will be published later.

  • Why does my font color change when I add an image to InDesign?

    Hello, I am doing a page layout in InDesign and I am using a light blue font for my title but when I add an image from Photoshop, the font color turns dark blue. When I open the InDesign file in Adobe Acrobat, my title is still dark blue. It's only when I make a PDF of the file in Acrobat and open it in the Safari browser that the title goes back to its original light blue font. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thank you!

    Not a good idea. The flattened PSD has lost all its layers, adjustments, and effects. I hope you don’t need to edit it or change any layer’s visibility. Either that or you now have two files to keep track of and have neutered InDesign’s Edit Original feature. Better to take Peter’s advice and place the text above the image so it is not affected by transparency flattening. If you need the text below because you want the drop shadow to interact with the text, then use Overprint Preview (View menu) or Separations Preview (Window > Output) to get a more accurate view of the text colour.

  • Font smoothing issues with Samsun 23 inch LCD

    I am having a font smoothing issue with my MacBook and my Samsung LN-S2352W 23 inch LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2352WXXAA.asp). I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter and the plugging that into the VGA port of my LCD. It doesn't matter which app I run, but as long as it has fonts, they come out blurry, hazy, colors bleed, etc.
    I have played with the font smoothing settings and that has not helped at all. I have heard of TinkerTool and will try it to see if it makes any difference, but am not expecting much.
    I also have a PC running Windows Vista and I connected it to the VGA port of my LCD. Wow...the difference in picture quality was astounding. I'm ******. I want my MacBook to look that sweet on my LCD.
    Anyone have any thoughts? Can this be fixed?

    TinkerTool didn't make any difference for me. I played around with it and found that there was no improvements using it or disabling font smoothing.
    I have watched DVD's on this LCD being played with my MacBook. I have seen 2MB+ full screen digital pictures. Both the DVD and digital pics look absolutely amazing on it.
    It's only the fonts that appear blurry or in some areas they appear to have a shadown to the right. This happens with any text that appears in every app.
    Keep in mind too, Windows Vista looks perfect on this display, but my prized MacBook looks really sub-par.
    I'm not quite following you on changing the display preferences to change to pixel size to that of the MacBook...

  • Printing XML report (with report.xsl stylesheet) shows font colors, but not table highlight colors

    I am trying to print the XML report generated by TestStand to a PDF in order to archive it.  When the XML report is rendered in Internet Explorer, everything looks fine -- Sequence names are highlighted in teal, Pass is in green, Fail is highlighted in red.
    However, when I print this page to a PDF (using BullZip PDF printer, or even the XPS printer), all of the table highlighting is gone.  The UUT Result in the header is red or green font color depending on the pass/fail state, but sequence names and any formatting applied to tables within the body of the report have no highlighting.
    Is the stylesheet altering what is rendered when the XML file is printed?
    This is the output when viewed in IE 
    This is the output when viewed as a PDF printed from the same file viewed in IE.
    Thank you,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey Matt,
    This is actually because of a default setting in Internet Explorer to not print background colors on webpages. To change it, simply go to the Page Setup screen (on IE9, you click the gear icon, then Print > Page Setup) and select the option to print background images and colors. After doing this, the printed report should contain the colors you see on your screen.
