Powerpoint graphics appear black on PCs

I have created a Keynote presentation with some PDFs (created in Illustrator CS2) and then have exported that presentation to PowerPoint.
The PC users that I send this/these file/s to see the embedded PDFs as black boxes. I'm not certain what version of Powerpoint they're using, but I can't seem to rectify the problem. I use PDFs for their scalability in Keynote.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums.
In my experience PDF conversion for PowerPoint is less than optimal at the best of times. You might try saving your Illustrator graphics in an earlier (more compatible) version of PDF (you should have this option when you save the document). Alternatively, a workaround would be to use TIFFs or JPEGs instead of PDFs for the graphics (at least when exporting to PowerPoint).

    hmmm … very hard to tell from remote:
    • it could be some hardware failure (Ram, GPU)
    • it could be some flaw in iMovie (do you know how to erase the pref-file of an app?)
    • it could mean, a re-install of iMovie could help

    so, you used Snow Leopard/10.6x = working
    Lion/10.7x = not working
    Mountain Lion//10.8 = not working?
    ... I dare to say, a from-ground re-install could probably give your System a new start .....

  • When I drag or copy a selection from Photoshop 8.0 into Powerpoint the selection always appears in Powerpoint with a black background.

    When I drag or copy a selection from Photoshop 8.0 into Powerpoint the selection always appears in Powerpoint with a black background.. How can I prevent this?

    Photoshop doesn't have a way of copying a selection, only the contents of that selection. You can save and load selections, but these are really just channels. As such, selections are essentially just black and white information. So I'm not sure what you are seeing in Photoshop when you make your copy, but PowerPoint should just get the information that you see. Screen shots of both Photoshop and PowerPoint may help though.

  • Imported .bmp files appear black, no image can be seen

    Hi all,
    I am attempting to import some .bmp assets that will be part of a webpage I am creating using iweb. However when I import the .bmp files they appear black instead of seeing the graphic. Any ideas?

    Ron
    Yes but what color profile are they?
    Given that they have red in them, then they are not greyscale images, however, given that they come from Illustrator there is a very good chance that they have a CYMK profile, and as I said, iPhoto supports RGB only. Open the images with Preview and use the Tools menu to ascertain the Color Profile. Change it to RGB if needed.

  • Still images appear black in final DVD

    I am making a 12 minute film on a Dell dimension 2400 using elements 2 (which I have done several times before without problems).
    Project includes video and still photos.
    Some of the photos appear black in the timeline and some appear black on the DVD.
    What might be causing this? Thanks

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

  • I have an older version of imovie.  After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

    I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine.  However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom.  Any suggestions?

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • Larger Document Appears Black and Displays Incorrectly

    Hello,
    I have just purchased Web Premium CS4. Photoshop CS4 Extended was included with the package and I installed and ran it. Sadly any large document I tried to open appears black and sometimes when I zoom in partly displays with random black lines through it. I have checked my system's specs and they all match up with the requirements. I am running Vista SP1 on a Dell computer. I have read all the knowledge base articles relating to this matter and have done everything they said (including disabling OpenGL, etc.) but still the problem continues. Is there any way or patch/addon to fix this?
    Thank You So Much,
    Bailey

    Do they open up in other images manipulation software packages? Try CS3 if you have it.
    What size, format (psb, tiff, etc) are they?
    I've only experienced what you say with corrupt files...I hope that's not the case here.

    Merge to HDR Pro does not work in Photoshop 14.2.1. Image appears black. What is the problem?

    Attached is screen shot.

  • I cannot view clips on the viewer window - as it appears black, However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.

    Hello!
    I cannot view any of the clips (not from event browser nor from timeline) on the viewer window - as it appears black/or blank/ or static ! However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.
    P.S I have chosen the filter: ALL
    Please help me with that I'm getting desperate ! I need to finish a project within one week :(
    A million thanks in advance

    Hi F. Carl
    The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
    I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
    The issue is:
    I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
    Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

  • Imported jpegs from iPhoto to iMovie appearing black!

    Hi,
    I have got an iMovie project underway and need to import a Jpeg image into the video. I first load the photo into iPhoto, then this appears in iMovie. However, when dragging it to the project just before the video starts, it appears as the actual photo on the timeline but nothing when skimming or playing the video - it appears black!
    How can I solve this?

    Hello Jbulluck,
    iMovie likes to have its material in dv format, meaning you'll need to convert.
    Good advice is found in Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ

  • (Yellow) Highlights appear black. How can I fix this?

    Today I woke up to find that I can't read the highlighted parts of my PDFs because they suddenly appear black. I have a Mac. Any suggestions as to how to fix it? Many thanks.

    Hi Anubha Goel. Thank you for your response.
    No, the document was not sent to me, and it happens with all my PDFs.
    MAC OS: 10.6.8
    I already tried what you suggested. Still looks black.
    Another weird change: when I select a line or two, instead of the selected
    part looking blue (as it did before), now it looks black and the letters
    look orange.
    Thank you.
    Regards.

  • Powerpoint graphic export filters

    Hi guys;
    I'm using Java to Com bridge technology for ppt automation to export a ppt presentation's slides as GIF images.
    the issue here is wether PowerPoint graphic export filters are always
    Installed with ppt.
    what if my program can't find GIF graphic export filter ?
    is there a way to check if gif graphic export filter is installed
    on user machine before trying to export ?
    I would appreciate a lot some source code .
    Please help !
    thanks.

    Hello,
    To export layouts with filters, go to the View menu > Layout > Open. Then choose the layout that you want to export, and open that layout. Then go to the Filters dialog box, select the filters that are active, and click on the 'Copy as Layout' button at the bottom right of the Filters dialog box. A copy of the filter will be made to the Layout Filters section within the Filters dialog box.
    Next, save the layout (View menu > Layout > Save). Then, go to the View menu > Layout > Open. Choose the layout and click on 'Export'. The layout will be saved as a Primavera Layout File (.plf). The filters will be included in the layout file.
    You can also refer to Article ID 906320.1 and ID 903492.1 in the KnowledgeBase.
    Hope this helps!

  • Transparent areas appears black

    Some images that use transparency when displayed on a web page, display black in the transparent zones when viewed in Photoshop Elements.
    If I edit the images and load them to a web site, the zones display as transparent or black depending on the file format (PNG, GIF, JPG) and other elements I haven't been able to isolate.
    What is this due to and how can I get transpency to display correctly when it appears black in Photoshop Elements?
    thx,
    Marc
    Ascendo

    Here is exactly what I am doing. I copy the "folder" image from the "get info" page (following a tutorial online to do my own folder icons). This is what the image pasted into SEASHORE looks like:
    (the checkered background is the transparency)
    This is what happens when I paste the same image into photoshop:
    (that is the channels and layers included as requested)
    You will notice that the background is NOT transparent, but white. I have checked the "transparent background" upon creation, and before pasting this item, Layer 1 was a 512 by 512 pixel transparent document. I have tried RGB 8, 16, 32 bit, and CMYK but those are not working. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
