Font colours when printing to printer or to PDF

In Word for Mac 2011, if I select the colour 'blue' (which is nice and bright) and then print to printer or to PDF it comes out a grey-blue.  I thought it might be a printer problem but it comes out like that when saving to PDF as well.  Anybody know a fix please? 

As Office is not an Apple product  you may have better success by posting in Microsoft's Office:Mac forums here:

Those forums are very helpful and you often get an answer from one of the Mac users who work in MS's Mac Business Unit.

  • Issue with HelveticaNeue text not being included when printing to Adobe PDF?

    I have a document (Word 2010 docx) with a section of HelveticaNeue text on the front page that when printing through Adobe PDF the text does not appear.
    Using Acrobat 9.4.6
    Tried the same document with:
    Win2Pdf - Displays correctly
    Converted to .doc - Displays correctly
    File\Save as PDF - Dispalys correctly
    Any ideas? I can post the document up here but I can't see an option to.

    You can try disabling the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts” option in printer properties.
    To do the same.In MS Word:
    Goto File -> Print
    Select Adobe PDF as printer.
    Click on "Printer Properties".
    Go to "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
    Uncheck the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts”
    Click Ok and try printing the document
    Also update your Acrobat to latest version 9.5.0.

  • InDesign freezes when printing to a PDF and have Outlook open

    I am not a patient person by nature. So, while I am waiting for my InDesign document to collect all its info before asking me where to save my printed PDF, I go compose an email in Outlook. When I do this, the dialog box for me to browse for the folder I would like to save the PDF to and the Outlook window disappear. What is going on?

    This type of issue probably relates to the amount of system resources and virtual memory used by each of the programs - i.e. InDesign and Outlook - but not to bugs particular to either one. Outlook (including Outlook 2007) uses a tremendous amount of virtual memory (possibly up to a three gigabyte limit) and by extension, real memory when you have a large number of messages in your active InBox or whatever folder(s) are open. Similarly, when printing or exporting PDF, InDesign calls in a number of resources, especially the Adobe PDF Library and the Adobe Graphics Manager, that also have a tremendous hunger for virtual memory space, especially if you are working on a very complex document. When I've seen this type of problem or better when I proactively want to avoid this problem when I know I am exporting very large, complex documents, I close down Outlook and often save my InDesign document, close InDesign, and restart InDesign. Sometimes, rebooting my system minimizes this problem. And it is possible that you have specified too small a paging file or have run out of disk space for paging files if you let the system handle this matter automatically.
    My perception is that with my migration of my main system to Vista 64-bit with a larger amount of main memory and larger available address spaces, I haven't recently seen this problem reoccur.
    By the way, I've seen similar issues if you have InDesign and Photoshop open and then try to open Illustrator - it simply craps out without any rational message. Open Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop in that order and Photoshop won't hog the systems' virtual memory.

  • Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

    Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

    'Cuz that's what mail merges do.  They create multiple documents based on the parent doc and all the names/addresses in your data tables.
    Perhaps if you describe exactly what you're trying to do & why you need PDF, we can point you to relevant tutorials.

  • Internet Explorer 8 crashes when printing webpage to PDF

    Is anyone else experience their browser crashing when printing webpage to PDF?  This only happens in IE8.  This feature works fine in firefox.
    Thanks!

    Thanks - but Firefox is not supported by my employer and we are restricted to use of Internet Explorer.  I appreciate you taking the time to try and help though   Anyone else have any thoughts?  This is so frustrating not to be able to open pdfs online.

  • When printing web based .pdf or regular .pdf I get message "This document failed to print"

    When printing web based .pdf or regular .pdf I get message "This document failed to print".  I've ran the HP Diagonistic tool and no errors are found.  I've gotten the same message on many different .pdf's so I don't believe it is a margin issue.

    Are the static IP addresses inside the DHCP range?  If so, move them to ones outside the range.
    Also, have you set the IP address in the printers' embedded web pages (via IP address in a browser) to match the ones set in the router?

  • Long files hierarchy causes autocad to crash when printing to a pdf

    Long files hierarchy causes autocad to crash when printing to a pdf.

    Tylerdowner,
    Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. No change. The only thing that seems to consistently resolve the problem is disabling the Flash plugin.
    I tried creating a new profile, but when I transfer the data suggested in this:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    I get an error window when opening firefox with the new profile ...something about security settings not working correctly...but I can print every time even though the Flash plugin appears to be installed and enabled. So I assume there is some kind of problem with my current profile. Any suggestions on how to find and correct it or a way to get most of my data into a new profile...that works...would be appreciated.

  • Wrong with font file when printing InDesign

    I get an error message when press print and the message is "There was a problem with the font file" (translated from Swedish) I have tried to change font but it dosent help. Anyone that have a solution to fix this problem?
    I have started to use latest InDesign CC when this happened after used it for a couple of weeks. Running a HP 64 bit workstation with Windows XP

    Sounds like it is warning you are missing a font in the document when printing it.
    When you open the InDesign document, In the lower-left corner of your screen, do you see any errors?
    Double-click the error. This will display the Preflight panel.
    Click on the Expansion arrow next to Text.
    Do you see a 'Mssing font' error? If yes, keep expanding until you can select the actual error.
    At the bottom of the panel, click the expansion arrow to the left of Info. You'll be able to see a bit more information about the error, and also a tip on how you can fix it. E.g. you can either install the font on your computer, or replace it with another font before printing. If you click on the link to the far right of the error, it will take you to the text in the document that is formatted with a missing font.

  • Font size when printing email messages

    Having chosen a larger font for viewing email messages, is there a way to avoid printing email messages in the larger font, but rather print in the default font?

    HI RRW21,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.   I understand that when trying to print an email from your iPad to your Deskjet 3512 that the email prints with a large-sized font.
    The size of the font is controlled by the email program and its font settings.  Apple’s AirPrint feature and HP’s ePrint app don’t have the ability to modify the font.  To modify the font please ask the email sender to modify it in any future emails or forward the email to yourself and modify the font before pressing Send.  I have included Apple’s About AirPrint and the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ documents for your reference.

  • Elements dropping off my files when printed from a PDF

    Please can anyone help... I am running InDesign CS1, I have recently designed a leaflet which included dotted lines for answers to questions.
    To make the dotted lines I used the full stop button (rather than the dotted line option on the line tool). Because the file had an awkward bleed area it was necessary to create a PDF file (using the inDesign PDF export option at High Resolution, no compressions) to lay the document up ready for print.
    However when I printed the document to a networked Colour Copier and to the Platemaking system the lines had mysteriously dropped off... Unfortunately I didn't spot that they weren't on the Platemaker Preview because they hadn't appeared on the Colour Copy (which I use to compare the two for errors) and so a 10,000 print run later and the job was rejected. Does anyone know why this has happened?
    If I print directly from the original InDesign document they show perfectly. If I print the same PDF layup from InDesign CS2 they don't show. Yet if I print from InDesign CS4 they print perfectly from exactly the same file, so I don't think it can be down to the PDF or the typeface (which is standard Helvetica Light).
    I obviously can't afford for this to happen again and it would be good to know if there is something I can do to prevent it... In a perfect world all 3 machines in the office would be running the same version, but in the current financial climate we can't afford to upgrade. I would use CS4 all the time, but for the other two computers which would never be able to open the InDesign files again. It doesn't make sense to me as EVERYTHING was created on the CS1 machine, so I would assume that the machine and software would be able to use it's own programming without issue.
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Why are you using the line tool or full stops for this? Use a right indent tab and use a "full stop" in the leader

    http://indesignsecrets.com/tab-leaders-part-2-formatting-leaders.php
    I'm not clear on what version of InDesign you are referring to - CS1, CS2, CS4?
    As for why it's not appearing, that is a mystery? Any screenshots ?

  • "Text on a path" and "paths" rasterised when printed from a PDF on an iGen

    I have just obtained from the printer the first proof of my book (printed on an iGen) and I'd like to find out where one of the problems lie. I'll ask the printer his opinion before second proof, but I don't like to annoy him unnecessarily.
    One of the chapters in the book has a lot of maps. I drew rivers by stroking a path, and named the rivers using 'Text on a Path' so that the text follows the curve of the river. Some of the maps have a pale background image on a different layer. And this is where the problem seems to lie.
    1. Rivers (and their names) appear normal on a map WITHOUT a background. By 'normal' I mean they look sharp. When magnified they seem to have been drawn as vectors.
    2. On maps WITH a background layer, 'Text on a path' appears very chunky (as if it has been rasterised at about 300 dpi) and paths (the rivers) appear to have the jaggies. Horizontal text does not appear to be affected.
    I can't be certain that (1) and (2) exactly define the problem, but it's as close as I can get at the moment.
    When I opened the original PDF file from which the book was printed, no matter how much I enlarge it, all paths and 'type on a path' retain their smoothness. i.e they are obviously vectors. However, I noticed when I opened the PDF in Acrobat 7 and tried to edit the 'text on a path', the PDF went haywire: the text I tried to edit disappeared, and other text frames on the page were shifted around.
    A sample PDF (6.7 MB, including an original two-page spread, and a scanned copy of the iGen print of the same), can be downloaded from:
    http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oe4omuzoqzz
    Two questions:
    Q1: On the maps with a background image, is the rasterising of stroked paths, and 'text on a path' due to the iGen mishandling the file? Or might there be another explanation?
    Q2: Re Acrobat 7 mishandling my 'text on a path': is this a bug that has been fixed in later versions of Acrobat?
    To reproduce this bug do this: Open the PDF described above, and within Acrobat 7 select Tools > Advanced Editing > Touchup Text Tool. Then click inside the name "Georgina River", backspace to try and delete a letter, and the PDF should go haywire.

    Sandee: Almost certainly below the text, but I'd have to check them all.
    But before I do that, we'll have to go back a step. I can almost handle layers in InDesign, but didn't know they existed in PDFs. The printer printed from the PDF and as far as I can tell after a brief visit to HELP, there aren't any layers in the PDF. When I go to View > Navigation Tabs > Layers and click on the Layer Tab when it appears, there's nothing there; and all the items under Options are grayed.
    Q1: Why do I need a layer in a PDF? By not having layers, can that cause problems?
    Q2: Re Robert's suggestions: what do you mean by "move all the text to a top layer"? Within InDesign before I export to PDF?
    Q3: Is printing more foolproof when I export to PDF, if all my text is on the one layer in InDesign and that layer is above any images? There are several hundred river names, place names etc, sitting on lower layers, but if need be I'll move them all.

  • Formatting Issues When Printing from a PDF

    I am currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows 7.  I have been printing or saving documnts as PDF's without issues until today.  I have created a document in Microsoft Publisher and have saved it as a PDF.  When I open that document, it appears on screen just as the original file in Publisher.  My issues are when I print from the PDF document.  When I print from the PDF, the formating for footers is not saved.  For example.  I might have a blank page with a page number at the top and a footer containing my company name on the bottom of the page.  When I print that page, the page number is where it is suppose to be, but the footer is moved to right under the page number at the top of the page.   I have been printing PDF from Publisher for years using these same versions of Adobe and Publisher.  Does anyone know why the formatting is not printing correctly?

  • FireFow freezes when printing to Adobe PDF printer

    Hi,
    I regularly but not always have FireFox freezing when printing a page with the Adobe PDF printer (not with the plug-in but by using the "print this page" button on the page I visit or by clicking File > Print . The only way to get out is to kill FireFox.
    Most often, I can eventually print the page after restarting FireFox and regaining access to the page. The trouble is that the page may no longer be available if the site requires identification and starts a new session ( ignoring the previous one).
    This is annoying.

    This is as much as I know about that add on [http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/using-pdf-printer.html] Have you checked the printing preferences or made any changes recently?
    It is also possible to reset the printer settings: [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

  • Strange artifact in Illustrator PDF, only when printing via Adobe PDF printer

    Hello,
    I've run into a strange issue with an artifact in a PDF generated by Illustrator using the Adobe PDF printer. When I "Save As" a PDF, this artifact does not show. Using the same job options, printing via Adobe PDF creates this artifact. The object is behind the content and it's a semi-transparent box that was manipulated using Free Distort. It's behind everything so shouldn't even show up, but the outline is showing up for some reason. In the past I've had similar issues with artifacts and I changed my Adobe Compatibility to the latest version, and it fixed the issue, but that didn't work this time. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks,

    I had to zoom in to see the faint lines you are talking about and they are there. As a test, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer.

  • Problem selecting tray when printing according to PDF format

    When printing a PDF file according to the PDF format the program is not selecting the proper tray for legal size documents.  Everything is printed on letter size paper. 

    You need to tell your printer what tray to use. Reader doesn't tell the printer what tray to use, it is the printer driver. If you are asserting that you have properly set the printer driver to print to a tray while using the Print command in Reader, you will need to tell us what OS? What version of Reader? What printer? What printer driver? How and when you are setting the printer driver info into the Print Dialog box.
