PDFs printing with black background and white text.

For some reason some of our PDF's have been printing with black backgrounds and white text, even though they appear to be normal on the screen before they are printed. I haven't been able to confirm 100% yet but it appears to only be happening with pdfs that were created from scanned documents.
Can somebody please offer me some suggestions.

Absolutely agree with the original poster. I find white text on black background so very very difficult (I changed from using Tweetbot on iOS to Tweetlogix for this very reason) and it physically hurts my eyes to try to read it. I can just about manage with Spotify using white text on a black background on the large screen of my MacBook Pro - and I do mean "just" - but for the smaller screen of my iPhone 5 it is just impossible. Even with a retina screen such as that on the iPhone 5S there is a strange ghosting effect and it gives me a headache to look at it for too long.
This may be something to do with age! I suspect most app developers are youngsters with almost perfect eyesight, but for those of us whose eyesight is less than perfect, this white text on black background really is so very difficult.
I know there is a workaround in setting the iPhone to invert ALL colours (under Accessibility in Settings) but it's a real pain to have to keep altering this setting every time I want to open or close Spotify, and it doesn't look right anyway. iOS7 is supposed to be a light, bright, easy to read OS - sadly this new Spotify app is the opposite of that.
Please would Spotify consider adding a simple light or dark theme option, so that those of us who want it can have our much easier to read light background back again, with grey or black text? It would be a great help to those of us who have eyesight problems.
If not, I may have to cancel my Spotify Premium account and move to Deezer instead, as I mainly use Spotify when out and about in the car, so am using the iOS app a lot.
Thank you for considering this plea!

Some PDF Files Shown with Black Background and White Text - Annoying

Hi All,
Recently some of my pdf documents, stored on my phone, are displayed with a black background and white text. This is quite annoying. A few weeks ago I didn't have this problem. All of my pdf documents had a white background with black text.
I'm a new iPhone user without much experience with the device. I have the 4.3 version of the software and update when prompted. I use Files Pro, FileApp Pro and QuickOffice applications in conjunction with DiskAid.
If there is something I can do to correct the situation, please let me know. If the problem is with Apple, they need to fix the situation. My phone, which used to be a great device for storing documents, has turned into an annoying bug.
Thanks,
Mike

Is there a setting to make a PDF print with no background and black text?

I made a nice booklet that has colorful blocks in the background and sometimes white text and sometimes black text. We are not going to print it, it is just going to be a PDF on our website. Can I set it up so that it always prints without the backgrounds and makes all the text black?
I just don't want people to have to print huge fields of colr if they end up printing this out on a little ink jet with expensive and finicky cartridges...

There are is no as such specified setting for customer or reader printer, because it depends on the printer setting of customer. However, you can mentioned that, if any one want to print book as black text, follow this setting http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-black-white-acrobat-reader.html

Change menus to black background and white text (not invert colors option)?

I have an iPhone 5 on the way to me as I got one for a very good price. I am visually impaired. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy s3 which is crapping out on me after having it for a long time). One of the features I love about it is, the menus (settings, contacts, etc etc) are in high contrast (black background with white text, which is much easier on my eyes and easier to read. It is my understandiing that the iPhone is not the same way. I had a friend look on his, and the only option he found was the "Invert colors" option. The reason I don't want to use that is because it inverts ALL colors for everything on the phone, including pictures. t just want to invert the colors in all the menus so I can read them easier. Is there any way to do this? BTW it's running IOS 8.

the invert colors option is the only way to achieve that on iPhone currently
you should go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and request that feature added, I think a lot of people would use that

Black background and white text physically hurts & creates ghosting. Please add UI color toggle.

Hi,
The new white text on black design physically hurts my eyes and gives very bad ghosting (i.e. persistent image like those in optical illusions that make you stare at particular color combinations and then look away). I know I'm not the only one with this issue because I've researched it in the past. Without an option to switch back to the old design (White background/black text), I'll need to delete my Spotify account and find another service. Please add an option to switch between the two (because I know many prefer black backgrounds). Myself and a host of others, however, cannot use these color combinations. Please let me know if there is a work-around; it would be much appreciated. It's basically unusable to me in it's current state. :(

CSCul20838 - PI 2.0 Maps with black background and white lines

This. Is a useless product bug solution Fremont a Network equipment software giant. You provide a solution which doesn't support CAD Drawings. The timeline given is next four months. If you canT use cad drawing than you can't get the client tracking acurict and if you sell the product for thousands dollar and don't give proper. Functionality than why the product is openly sold in the market???
It gives shame on your products solution and support.

So after all that it was just a coincidence that my graphic card failed me. Now I need a new one...any suggestions on what I should put in that's problem free?

I installed Mountain Lion in my IMac and now, some times, when I start up my mac it looks with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?

Don't worry, this is probably just Verbose Mode. It's perfectly harmless. If you're not specifically invoking it, than it's probably down to an unwanted setting in NVRAM. See this article on resetting NVRAM if it continues to bother you.

MacPro 2009, OSX 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1 shows everything in black base and white text?

I've updated MacPro to 10.8.5 and iTunes to 11.1.
The problem is, that these updates did not solve a problem where iTunes shows everything in negative colours - well almost everything.
Mostly it has a black base and white text for example on Music Library and on the side bar.
Anybody with any solutions maybe?

Black background and white letters?

Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5 on a Mac Pro.
Everything has been fine until this morning when all of a sudden my background has changed color to black and the characters are white. I don't know what I did to cause this. More importantly, I don't have a clue on how to go back to a white background and black characters.
Thanks for any help.

Tom,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, while doing this does change the background on iTunes, it also flips the all the other windows to a black background and white characters. The only app that has the black background is iTunes, everything else is fine.

Web sites print with black background

I usemhigh contrast in IE8 but in Firefox 4 I have it set to use yellow on Black background. I have my printers all set to print in black and white. When I print from IE8 I get black text on the white paper with no background printed. But with Firefox 4 I it prints the black background with the yellow text. This is true of all sites I'm viewing and wish to print.

File > Page Setup = do you have '''Print Background (colors & images)''' selected?

Black Screen and White text at startup

Greetings, I recently installed the latest security update so I don't know for sure if this is the cause or a coincidence. When I startup my iMac G5 1.8Ghz PPC I now get a black screen with a lot of white text instead of the ususal grey screen with the apple logo. The computer does startup and seems to function OK however but this is total weirdness. I downloaded and reinstalled the 10.4.8 combo PPC update. I booted from my backup drive and it still does this. While booted from backup I ran repairs on permissions and disk repairs and then I ran DiskWarrior. Still flakey. Last week the power suppluy and logic board were replaced as part of the iMac G5 repair extension program from Apple but this behavior started immediateely after the latest Security update was installed as recommended by the software updates application. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for any help.

I zapped the PRAM and all is well now.... Weird! Thanks to all!
One of the settings in the PRAM can cause the Mac to act like a specific keyboard shortcut was pressed at startup; in your case, it was the verbose mode shortcut, which is Command+V. Some utility software packages can toggle this setting, and it can be changed from the Terminal.

Acrobat 7.0 PDF Printing with Black Boxes

When I print a PDF file, areas of the document and sometimes the entire document, prints as a big box of black ink. This happens when I print a document that I've created or one that someone else has created and sent to me. This happens if I'm printing a color document or black and white document. Other documents (Word, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) are printing fine. I checked with the printer manufacturer and they said it was an Acrobat issue.

Thanks I'm aware of that feature.
The bookmarks are there, but there aren't any pages. You have to click on the bookmark to display said page. There is a total of 30 documents (pages but we won't call them that as they are bookmarks). When you go to print you need to click on the bookmark/page you want to print, and it only recognises that page. Not the other 29 bookmarks.
My understanding/research on bookmarks indicates pages are needed. However this document is not showing that at, the bookmarks are treated as pages. As I did not create the document I wonder what the scandal is???
Regards
