How to preserve a background color, when generating a PDF file

I am trying to create a PDF file from some application. Please note that the picture in this application has the black background. So I invoke a Print command and set a printer as "Adobe PDF". As a result, I have generated
a brilliant PDF file of my picture, but on the WHITE background. When selecting the Adobe PDF printer, I have looked through all its settings ( in the Adobe PDF settings, I have found several tabs: General, Images, Fonts, Color, Advanced, PDF/X), none of them generated the original background color.
So how can a generate a PDF file, having the original background color (black, in my case) ?
Oleg

Now I feel that the background definition in the Adobe PDF printer and the background definition in the application the Adobe PDF printer is invoked from -- two different things. So I guess how can I define the black background in the Adobe PDF printer? I cannot find such settings.

Garbled fonts when generating a PDF file

Greetings all:
I am currently creating a series of documents in FM10 which are then converted to PDF for eventual posting on the web.The first two converted to PDF okay (more or less). I created a chapter template which is used for making the third document. All of the formats and document properties are the same. When I generated the PDF (saved book as PDF), I got some weird results. All of the headings, chapter titles, and other text that used the Lucida Sans Demi Bold font came out garbled. Even the character count doesn't jibe with the original in Frame. I checked to make sure the font is installed in the c:\windows\fonts folder. Adobe PDF is set as the default printer. I tried generating the PDF with "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts" checked and un-checked both. There was no difference in the output.
I don't have much of a choice in fonts. The people I'm doing the work for really want to use the Lucida Sans Demi Bold font. Other sans-serif fonts look okay in regular type but their bold faces are too bold.
Fonts aside, what's going on with the PDF conversion and why am I getting it now with this new document when it worked before with the other two documents?
BTW - I'm using the PDF add-on that came with FM10. We don't have the full version of Acrobat installed. No one to compare notes with here, I'm the only writer and the only FM10 user. On a Win7 platform.

Make certain that the "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" option is checked in your SaveAsPDF window. Otherwise, you're using the CMYK workflow, which has some serious problems.

Why does a red line is appearing when generating a pdf file from illustrator?

I create my slide using illustrator (from CS2 to CS5) and when I save the file in pdf format, a red line is being created around the rectangle border of the silde.
I don't know how it was generated and what to do to remove it.
I need help please.

car-c,
Is it vector or raster artwork?
Slides?
A few images might reveal something, one preferably being a screenshot with the artwork selected, maybe along with an opened Leyer.

How can I replace a color in a finished PDF file?

I'm on Mac 10.9.2 Mavericks and I want to print a PDF file made by someone else, composed of Powerpoint slides. The problem is, all pages have a standard layout where there are giant cyan lines on the bottom, without any text on them other than page numbers, like so:

Other than editing the PPT (or PPS), you can't.

Photoshop Images on illustrator, generate bad PDF Files !

When editing a native illustrator file with linked photoshop images on layers (cuts, paths with transparent background), and we generate a PDF file from any version since 1.4, we got the cuts and /or paths marked with a stroke (line) between the image and the background.
If we generate this file on version 1.3, this problem do not appear, but the images comes completely fragmented, what makes later edition impossible.

1. Please show screenshots
2. A PDF is not meant for editing. If you want to edit later, either save an AI file on top or save the PDF with Illustrator editing capabilities (this embeds a fully editable AI file into the PDF, of course making it bigger)
3. in a PDF 1.3 every transparency gets flattened which causes the fragmentation. Read the documentation on transparency, you'll need it anyway. There's a PDF called
A Designer's Guide to Transparency for Print Output
4. PDF version has to be selected carefully depending only on the demands of whoever prints or displays it afterwards.

How to change the background color of a Tab Canvas

Hi All,
I accidentally changed existing background color of a tab Canvas to ' gray' which is not matching with main canvas (which has default).
How can I change background color to default. Please help me.
-Thanks

In the property palette of the tab page, click on the "Background Color" property and click the "Inherit" button on the top of the property palette, this will revert the value of the property to the default when the tab page was created which is <Unspecified>.
But if your tab page has inherited the color from a property class it will revert to what was specified in the property class.

Set background color when condition applied

hi,
Can anybody tell me how to set background color when condition applied.
My initial plan was to highlight a specify row(Change color) when the third column of this JTable consists of OK word.
int rowCount = table.getRowCount();
for(int i=0 ;i <rowCount ; i++)
String word = table.getValueAt(i,3).toString();
if(word.equals("Word")) {
table.setSelectionBackground(Color.red);
break;
else {
table.setBackground(getBackground());
Thanks.

Keyboard shutcut for choosing background color when brush tool is active?

Hello,
I've forgotten the keyboard shortcut for choosing a background color when the brush tool is the active tool . Holding down the alt key with the brush selected chooses the foreground color. What key do you hold down to select the background color? I'm on a mac. Thanks.

That's interesting, but is it a lower case L or upper case i? I certainly can't make it work on a PC.
A couple of thought for you... There are no easy to use shortcuts unused in Photoshop nowadays, so I sometimes steal them from little or never used operations. For instance, how many people use H for panning instead of the Space bar. I know H has the benefit of locking in panning, but I don't think I have 'ever' had a need for it. I have, in the past, stolen Y from Blur and Smudge, but I have not done so in recent versions.
But for quickly and constantly picking background colours, you need a convenient key, and that suggests the Z key to me, as I always zoom with the mouse and Ctrl (or Alt) Space bar. Just a thought.
Another option is the Wacom Express keys if you are using a tablet that has them. The Keystroke option won't accept some combinations, but I think it would be doable
Shift F4 is for an Action I used to use a few versions back, to place guides at 50% vertical and horizontal. They are easy to snap drag nowadays.
One last idea on a similar vein, are programmable keys on custom keyboards. I don't know if they are available for the Mac, but I use a Logitech G110 which has 12 programmable keys on the left of the usual layout. These 12 keys can be programed three different ways, and selected by the M keys above. I originally bought this keyboard for its illuminated keys, but I quickly got used to the extra functionality. Even the little volume control, in the top right corner, (highlighted in magenta below) is such a convenience. I use these keys for launching Actions,, although I found I had to make both G8 and G12 mirror the Ctrl key as I occasionally hit them by mistake.

Background Color When Displaying Playlists

Background Color When Adding Frames - PSE8 or PSE9

When adding a frame to an image, the background color that is outside of the new frame, and which borders it, always comes up white for me. Can that area be made to come up another color, and if so, how? Thanks!

Hi, I understand that, but what I really want to do, and perhaps I didn't express myself clearly, is select a background color other than white and have it come up as the default color until such time as it's changed. Thanks!

For the background, you can either choose any background from the content panel or
choose any color from the color palette
select Paint bucket tool
Click on a New layer icon in the layer's panel with Control/Command pressed.
Click on the white area around the frame.
the area is filled with the color selected.
