PDF shows background color as white. Prints black. HELP!

I'm trying to print the screen the way I see it which is a white background with black font and an image, but it won't.
I went under preferences and accesibility and replaced document colors to black text and white background.
However, it still prints in it's Image with black background format.
Help, I've never written on one of these and this is frustrating! Thanks much!

Nice tip. Yeah the spreadsheet is definately much close to perfect with Bridge/your method. I'm able to change the background to black and get rid of the gaps completely. It looks like this at the moment: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8359/bridge1c.jpg
There's just one problem. I can only save the file as PDF, when instead I'd like to save it as .jpg or .png, but I guess I could work around this and batch autoconvert all of those PDF spreadsheets into JPG or PNG format with Photoshop after I'm done making all of the spreadsheets.
Thanks alot for the help!

How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its backround color from white to black just in my view not for all

How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

Can anybody say why In the layer menu the background color is white when opening a layer mask, and why does it automatically turns black by simply opening the layer mask properties menu? The vector mask is white anyway.

How do I mark the entire contents of a RichTextBox (gRTbxInfo) with a background color of white?

How do I mark the entire contents of a RichTextBox (gRTbxInfo) with a background color of white?
I have code that finds / marks words with a different color. Now I want to remove that color. I've started with the following, but cannot complete it.
    //int iLength = gRTbxInfo.Length
    int iLength = 10;
    TextRange trText = new TextRange(gRTbxInfo.Document.ContentStart, gRTbxInfo.Document.ContentEnd);
    TextPointer tpStart = trText.Start.GetInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
    TextPointer tpSelectionStart = tpStart.GetPositionAtOffset(0, LogicalDirection.Forward);
    TextPointer tpSelectionEnd = tpSelectionStart.GetPositionAtOffset(iLength, LogicalDirection.Forward);
    TextRange tpSelection = new TextRange(tpSelectionStart, tpSelectionEnd);
    tpSelection.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.BackgroundProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White));

Isn't that just
TextRange tr = new TextRange(rtb.Document.ContentStart, rtb.Document.ContentEnd);
tr.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.BackgroundProperty, Brushes.White);
Hope that helps.

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.

Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Word 2007 to PDF with Background Color

Hello,
We have a Word 2007 document which has a Blue background and White Fonts.
When we print to PDF, we can only see the Blue background and the fonts are NOT visible
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Well, now I'm confused <g>.
Following your directions:
--| opened a new DOCX with Word 2007 & saved
--| then, from the Page Layout ribbon; Page Color > selected a Theme Coler of dark blue (top row, 4th from left)
--| entered some text (creatively, I entered "This page has a blue backgroud)
This text had the default font color (black)
--| selected the text string, right clicked for the context menu, selected "Font"
--| in the Font Dialog, used the "Font color" drop-down to change the font color
--| selected "white" (top left selection from the Theme Colors)
--| from the Acrobat ribbon, opened Preferences
--| used my default configuration:
     --| Settings tab: all selected except - Create PDF/A-1a 2005 compliant file & Attach source file
     --| Security tab: the add-in default (nothing selected)
     --| Word tab: first choice not selected; other two selected
     --| Bookmarks tab: first and third selected, second not selected
     --| Video: as-is with the default selections
--| clicked Create PDF & Save
--| output PDF: page background is the dark blue; font color is white & readily viewed.

Background color using a print template

Hi to everybody,
I would like to change the background color over a template print.
I do not know if is possible to do it ?? I can not find in the print module the option to change it...
I have tried to edit a template... looking for the line code to change it but it was impossible... I need to change white color to black...
Thanks in advance
Ignacio.

You can't do it using the normal interface. One trick to circumvent this that some people use is to use a passe-partout graphic that you make in a different program as a watermark image.

Laserjet 200 color mfp m276nw print black not grayscale

I'm told the printer will print even black-and-white documents using "grayscale," which I'm told means it is using the color cartridges even to print black and white documents. Is there some way I can change this so that it prints black and white documents with only the black ink cartridge? I'm using Mac.

Hi Balderol,
I understand you would like to print black only. I found a document that will help guide you through the steps to set your print settings. This document says it is for 10.3 an d10.4, but the instructions will apply to the newer Mac versions as well. Mac OS X: Printing with the Black Print Cartridge Only Option.
I hope this is helpful.

Spry vertical menu button shows background color instead of image in preview

Hello All, I'm a newbie (to the forum and Dreamweaver) so my apologies if my question is not in good form. I've searched for this issue but cannot seem to find the exact problem I have.
I've created a website (my first) and used the spry menu bar. It works well using the default blue and grey colors for button and hover. However, I decided I want to spruce it up a little and change the buttons to use a background image (rainbow pattern) instead of background color. I internet researched this for some time and watched all the youtube videos people have posted for this process and editing the spry vertical menu bar CSS. Using the .a and hover lines from the CSS, I was able to add my background .jpg image file. In the design view, the button look exactly how I want them to. However, when I attempt to preview in IE, Chrome, or FF, the buttons still have the default colors and no image. I've gone back and deleted the default blue and grey, but then the preview just shows dark grey and white for the buttoms. is there something that I am overlooking that would cause the background color to show instead of the image I have attached to the buttons. I can't figure out why it looks right in DW but not in preview.
BTW, I'm editing a template file and all the pages are updated with the new image buttons, but none of the pages show correctly in preview.
Thanks

BUG(?): background color not in print profile

When printing a photo from Lightroom 3 with paper background color this color is not corrected for printing, although I print with icc, print profile from Spyderprint. The photo itself is corrected. This means that the paper backround is colored instead of gray, for example.
Is this a bug? I think so, because I there is no way I can change this.
Thanks

Hello CameraHans (are you Dutch, by the way?)
The whole border or sheet has a color cast. The photo itself has not. Both are in greys, so I will do as you suggested and look what happens when I do this in colors.
I will insert 3 screenshots, 2 of the Lightroom environment, and 1 of the print preview, I used here the 'contour' to show the effect. You can very well see that the color of the border does not change at all, Thanks, Hans van den Berg

Why doe's my 8500A printer use color ink when printing black and also when unit is cleaning

I only print in black. I am required to buy all the colors because my printer will not operate when any cartridge is empty.
I was informed at Office Depot that all printers operate this way. According to them it also uses ink when it goes through
the cleaning cycle.
The XL ink package at Office Depot (black, yellow, cyan, magenta) is $97.00 + tax.
I hope someone has a logical answer why this is set up this way.
Why do I need colors to print black?

The 8500A takes 4 ink cartridges and 2 printheads (one for black/yellow, and another for the other two colors). This design is so that you have have larger ink cartridges (stationary on the side, the printer only moves the printhead during printing). A drawback is, you have to have all the cartridges in, without the ink cartridges, the printheads could be damaged and would cost more to replace.
Printing black text uses black ink only, it does not use color ink. The "Clean printhead" function does print a color page and uses color ink, but you only need to do this when you notice lines missing (printhead clogged) in the printout.
If you print mostly black only, choose a model that uses cartridges that has a printhead built in. These printers typically can still print black with color ink out.

How to disable color cartridges when printing black?

Is there a setting to disable color ink cartridges so that my printer prints black and white documents using only black? Selecting just "grayscale" or "black and white" doesn't stop the printer from using the color cartridge to "make" black. I know there's a setting somewhere in OSX to bypass using the color cartridge (I've done it before), but I just can't seem to find it now. Any thoughts?

I have not ever seen that option in System Preferences/Printing.
Are you quite sure that selecting Greyscale after selecting Quality & Media still requires the colour cartridges?
I ask this because I also have a Pixma (different model) which uses two different black cartridges, one standard size, the other twice as big, and I have always assumed that that is specifically to allow black-only printing.
But if it, for reasons known only to Canon and God, also needs the colour cartridges, it can't be much!

Change grey background color to white

In Numbers I have grey background color in some cells, when the rest of the sheet is white background. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

"Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong. "
Hi Wot',
Probably nothing. The default 'blank' template in Numbers contains a table which has one Header Row and one Header Column. The grey fill is there to draw your attention to the fact that these cells are different from the 'regular' cells in the rest of the table.
If you are starting a new document and you do not want any header rows or header columns, I would suggest starting with a Plain style table.
From the Blank template there are at least three routes to a Plain table:
Open a Blank document from the Templates Chooser
Click on cell A1
Go Table (menu) > Delete column
Go Table > Delete Row
You now have a table with no header columns and no header rows
Open a Blank document from the Templates Chooser
Click on any cell to activate the table.
Go Table (menu) > Header Rows > 0
Go Table > Header Columns > 0
You now have a table with no header columns and no header rows.
Open a Blank document from the Templates Chooser
Click on the Table 1 icon in the Sheets list to select the tabel.
Press delete.
Click the Tables button in the Toolbar and select Plain from the pop-up menu.
You now have a table with no header columns and no header rows
For more information on how Header Rows and Header Columns differ from regular cells, see the Numbers '09 User Guide, Chapter 3, Working with Tables, with particular attention to the section on Working with Rows and Columns in Tables, starting (in the edition I have) at p 56.
You can, and should, download the guide through the Help menu in Numbers.

Barry

Crop tool shows background color unless I switch to "Classic" mode

I'm not sold on the "latest" Photoshop being the best. I've seen more bugs now that I've subscribed to the "CC" version than ever before. Here's my latest issue..
When I activate the crop tool (I realize it's been rewritten.. not sure why), I see my current background color in place of what is visible in my current workspace. Ultimately, completing the crop command, it crops as expected, and the background color vanishes. What benefit is this? It adds confusion and makes me a bit confused as to what the final crop result will be. Why was this changed? Why am I seeing my current background color? It makes no sense. I've been using Photoshop for nearly 20 years and this is just dumb. Can anyone explain?
Thanks!
- Sean

Yeah, that was pretty vague. I was in a creative mode and was rudely interrupted by this weird change, so I wasn't focused on a clear post. The lack of direct email support to Adobe frustrated me also. Alas..
Bascially, I have a layer with some image data, and transparent regions:
I select the crop tool, and select a region just inside the outside edge, containing the portion of the image I care about:
The background switched from being transparent to my current background color selection. I had this green chosen for some completely unrelated task. I can't find anywhere that this can be disabled. The settings I have are what I believe to be the defaults:
And, when I change the crop settings to "Use Classic Mode", the behavior is the more sensible (in my opinion) current background:
I hope that clears up the confusion. I can't imagine any use case where replacing the current visible background with the current background color makes sense. If it's a feature, I can't find any documentation, official or otherwise, that explains why this is happening.
Yes, I like the latest versions of software, but since I made the jump from CS4 to CC, I've hit more bugs than ever before. I've had to kill Photoshop a couple times in the past two months, whereas before, it never froze up or crashed on me. This feels like a bug, but if it's a feature, I'd love to know how to use the new crop tool's background settings properly.
Cheers!
