Printing Dark Background Converted PPT

Hello, I have got a Power Point presentation in PDF format send by my professor, i have to print it out but it has got dark bakground and will use a lot of ink so to resolve i search out the method to change background and reached to the option of Accecibility-custom color  it works but only for viewing but is there any method thats works for printing as it fails there... Thanking you in anticipatio

Hi zee,
You can try changing print quality(and reduce the default ppi) in printer properties, that way it would use less ink.
Another alternative would be to edit the pdf in Acrobat and remove the background image container leaving just the text in front.
Please let me know if it works or if you need any further assistance.

Rahul

  • How to change pdf (with dark background) so it print with white background and dark text??

    I have lots of nice presentations I am studying- the problem is most of them were made in ppt with dark backgrounds and white text then converted to pdf files. So when I print them, I get a dark (black) background with white text- very annoying. Is there anyway to get it to print with a light (or no) backround with black text? This is much easier for note taking/etc. I have adobe acrobat professional.

    Use the rectangle shape tool. Draw a rectangle over the entire frame. In the shape tab, color it whatever you want. Export your TGA sequence.

    PS: But if you place a colored bkg in your motion project that you will effectively have no alpha channel. Are they referencing the TGA's alpha?

  • Ink wasting because pages with dark backgrounds still print despite background print checkbox being unchecked

    I am visually handicapped and have Firefox set up in the colors to force black background white text. My computer is set up like that too by uncheckable the allow web pages to choose colors and checking use system colors. If go to print a page with a dark background or use the color setting mentioned above. My pages print with the dark background despite the Print background box being unchecked. This problem cropped up as of Firefox 4.x.

    That could be a bug, or it could be by design. I'm not sure.
    Studying a workaround and will report back...
    Okay, here's the workaround. I think it's actually better looking than the built-in solution, but you can be the judge. (On further thought, maybe it's a bit extreme...)
    First, you need an add-on named Stylish. Stylish lets you restyle any page. You can install it here (you will have to restart Firefox and enable the add-on if it isn't automatically enabled): [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish :: Add-ons for Firefox].
    Second, you need a "userstyle" named [http://userstyles.org/styles/48319/browser-and-page-white-on-black Browser and Page - White On Black]. As the name suggests, the text is white and the background is black, but because it is applied as a style, you can turn off the black background in Page Setup. (I tested it today, but I can't vouch for it being the same if it has been updated.)
    Check the box under Tools > Options > Content > Colors to let sites set their own styles, then check some pages (and Print Preview) to see how you like it.
    Does it work for you?

  • Dark Background Printing

    I just installed Acrobat Pro from the Creative cloud and now many of the PDF's I am emailed print with a DARK background even though when I view them they have a white background.

  • Looking for a howto for an applescript to batch convert PPTS to Keynote...

    Looking for a howto for an applescript to batch convert PPTS to Keynote...
    Hi to group!
    (cross posted this a couple of weeks ago to Keynote forum, no responses) Perhaps the query really belongs here...)
    (I) Have a whole bunch of PPTs to convert to Keynote, now and more as time goes on.
    Looked into applescript to try to automate this a bit (could open PPT file but did not see any way to 'Save' file from a script).
    Also looked into bash scripting/automator too -- way too many options to choose from. Help!
    Anybody done anything similar to this already?
    TIA for pointers. //GH

    A word of caution.
    I have not tried the workflow before.
    I am not an applescript expert.
    These steps were quickly composed using my basic knowledge in Applescript
    What I was planning was to create a script droplet that when a ppt file is dropped upon it, it extracts the name of the file and sets it to a variable to name the keynote file later. You might have to modify it a bit to batch process multiple files.
    Try going through batch processing scripts made for quark or Adobe photoshop ( Not sure if these exist on internet) to see how they have implemented the steps in applescript.
    To GUI Script Keynote, do these steps...
    All the code has to go in here
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">activate application "Keynote.app"
    tell application "System Events"
       tell process "Keynote"
          -- insert GUI Scripting statements here
       end tell
    end tell
    </pre>
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">click menu item "Export…"  of menu 1 of menu bar item "File"  of menu bar 1</pre>
    This will click the next.. button provided the default export type is set to PPT
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">click button 2 of sheet 1 of window 2
    </pre>
    This will click the Export button on the next window
    click button 1 of sheet 1 of window 2
    This piece of code can be used to set the name of the ppt file using the extracted name in the first step
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">set value of text field 1 of sheet 1 of window 2 to "<string>"
    </pre>
    May be there is a better way out there.
    Thanks for red_menace for his Script formatter script

  • Need to remove white background for use on dark background

    Hi,
    I have a stock image of some people on a white background. I need to remove the white background so I can use the image in a project with a dark background. However when I put the edited subjects on the dark background, the people all have noticeable white borders around them which I assume means I am not getting all of the white out, especially around the hair. Can anyone recommend the best way of overcoming this? Thanks.

    Can anyone recommend the best way of overcoming this? Thanks.
    There is no single "best way". It all depends on the resolution of the image and its other quality properties. The - theoretically - cleanest and less workladden method would be to extract the luminance e.g. by converting to Lab mode and selecting the L channel, then adjust the channel range. However, if the foreground also contains lots of bright colors, clipping back the channel black and white points would also affect them and you'd need more adjustments to compensate or work with teh refine mask tool a lot to feather edges just like you would with a conventioan layer mask created from an interactive selection. On top of that you may also still need to apply all teh other dirty tricks like using a dark inner glow to cover up remaining bright areas or fill the outside with a dark color... Really depends, but you should be prepared to invest some time. Using longwinded manual painting and cloning may even be required...

  • InDesign PDF transparent images not printing right background color.

    problem with exporting an InDesign Document to a PDF and printing. My transparent images are showing up with a darker background than what they are placed on. Know how to help?

    Thanks everyone!  That really helped.
    There were a few other things that I had to make sure of also.
    Solution:
    Images placed in InDesign that were made in Photoshop or another program should be in ckmy format.  The background needs to be in the same ckmy.   Transparency blend must be set at CKMY, then Transparency Flattener presents must be set at Rasters/Vectors: 0 Line art and text resolution: 600, Gradient and mesh resoltuion 300.  Exporting to PDF must be done under present PDF/X-4:2008 Compatibility: Acbrobat 7.

  • Prints dark and contrasty-display looks good

    i use imac 27" with 10.6.6
    i calibrate display with eyeone ver 3.6.3
    i print from LR3 and CS5.
    my problem is that the prints are always darker and more contrasty than indicated by the display. I have tried printing the same image after converting image profile to sRGB, adobesRGB, and prophotoRGB.  the prints made after converting image profile to sRGB are best but they are all poor.
    i have searched various fora and found little that i understand and can't get a handle on my error. i have thought perhaps my display to bright causing me to develop a little darker than i should........but i would be greatful for some advice.

    i neglected to add that i have printed to my on epson and to costco and walgreen online print services, all giving the same too dark-too contrasty look.

  • Moving from Corel Ventura into InDesign CS4 - prints dark

    My company has been using Corel Ventura for years, up to version 10.   We are now switching in InDesign CS4, but everything is printing dark.  We use it to publish black & white manuals, including some photos  & vector art.
    Ventura had an essentially unmanaged color workflow -  everything was set to generic - i.e. - "Generic RGB" & "Generic  CMYK"
    In Indesign, currently we are using "North American General  Purpose 2".  The files are printed to a postscript file in InDesign.   Then made into a PDF via Distiller.  The settings for the PS file &  Distiller we are using came from LightingSource.com.
    I  was assuming that the problem came up in the creation of the PS file -  under Color Handling - it is set to "Let InDesign Determine Colors".  So  I took the other option & used "Let PS printer determine colors"   The pages print lighter now, but they are actually too light.  I'm not  sure what to try next, given that any direct alteration of the printer  setup is out of the question.
    Any help would be great!!!
    Lighting Source Settings -  http://lightningsource.com/ops/files/premedia/PSsettingsINDcs4_PC_int.pdf

    Not knowing more, this is a possible solution if you have Photoshop:
    1. In Photoshop with no documents open: Edit Color Settings. By CMYK, Custom CMYK. Black Generation "Maximum"
    2. Hit OK, but NOT to the whole Color Settings dialog, just the Custom CMYK dialog. Again in the CMYK pull down, "Save CMYK" Put the profile in your Color Sync folder where InDesign will recognize it. After you save it CANCEL. You don't really want to alter your Photoshop color settings, you just want to create the Max Black Generation profile
    3. In InDesign. Create a top most layer on master page. Create a white box to fill the whole page. Set Blend Mode to "Color" Lock the layer.
    4. Change the transparency blend space to RGB (Under Edit)
    5. Assign the new Max Black CMYK profile to the ID document (Edit: Assign Profile)
    6. Check with Separations Preview, you should have K channel only
    7. Export PDF/X1a. By Output: Destination: "Document CMYK." You must flatten transparency when you output PDF, and X-1a will do this. The PDF result will be black and white, K channel only. Verify in Acrobat.
    This process converts an all color InDesign document to K only CMYK. Dot Gain will be standard 20% but can be changed in step 1 when you create the custom CMYK.
    Any grayscale images placed should not be affected by this workflow.
    This process is the closest thing I know of to grayscale color management in InDesign.

  • Animated GIF doesn't work against dark backgrounds in HTML

    I've created an animated GIF in Photoshop, exported it for web with transparency, and placed it in my HTML code. It doesn't work against the dark background on my page. However, when I open the image in a new browser tab, voila, the animation works precisely as it should.
    Why is the background affecting the animation and how can I work around this?

    Hello Frank,
    problem is solved.
    I have installed IE7 on a Windows 2003 Server Edition and used remote desktop client to test the application.
    It seems that either a setting on W2003 or the remote desktop client avoid to see the animation.
    On locally installed IE7 animated gif's works fine.

  • TO not printing in background processing of process message

    Dear Experts,
    We are using PI sheets and process messages to do GR (WM) and then put away to a destination storage bin. TO is getting printed in the default user profile printer when user is manually sending  process message in CO54. But not getting printed when processed by a background job(RCOCB004). We tried even after maintaining the printer in background user but of no use. It only generates the spool and no direct print happening. Kindly let me know if this is the std SAP behavior and any way to control this.
    Thanks

  • Printer setting to print in background ?

    Hello,
    Im using F110 to print cheque and advice . I have set in a way to print the advice on the default PC printer (LOCL) and the cheque on a dotmatrix printer that i have created on SPAD. When i test this advice and cheque using TEST TRANSACTION , i could print both advice and cheque at the same time on different printer at the same time. But F110 creates a background job and the jobs triggers the print.
    The setting on SPAD for my printers,
    1) DOTMATRIX(Cheque)
    device attribute -> devicetype = TWSPWIN ,
    Device class = Standard printer
    Access method -> Hot spool access method = F F:Printing on front end printer , HOST PRINTER = <My network printer name(dotmatrix)> , I have also CHECKED (X) "NO DEVICE SELECTION AT FRONTEND"
    2) 1) LOCL
    device attribute -> devicetype = TWSPWIN ,
    Device class = Standard printer
    LOCATION = <Location of the printer >.
    Access method -> Hot spool access method = F F:Printing on front end printer , HOST PRINTER = __DEFAULT.
    Im sure that 'F F:Printing on front end printer' will print when i execute in foreground . But F110 executes the print in background, hence the spool created results in error "frountend unavailable" .
    How can i handle this issue . Should i configure the printer to which i need to send advice in SAP instead of using LOCAL . If i configure what are the parameters i need to maintain w.r.t background execution as im now using 'F F:Printing on front end printer ' on access method.
    Please advice .
    Thanks,
    Jeeva.

    Hi Jeeva,
    I cannot give you the details for the printer configuration but I am sure that you can not print using printer LOCL in background. In background this will always error out as is your case at the moment. You need to define the printer in SPAD.
    You can try the access method as L. We have a printer with similar config used for background printing.

  • Font is blurry on dark background.

    Hey everyone,
    I'm experiencing very annoying trouble out here. My font rendering is kind of blurry when it comes to dark backgrounds. Here's a screenshot using Swyphs II color theme. My rendering is on the top of the screenshot, author's is at the bottom, after the red line.
    http://berkana18.com/screen.jpg
    This behavior is everywhere, where I have light text on dark background (excluding images of course).
    Font smoothing in system perferences is set to 'Automatic', and i'm on Leopard, 23" ACD. Changing font-smoothing option does not affect it at all.
    Any ideas, anyone?
    Thanks in Advance.

  • PS CS4 printing dark; LR 2.2 printing fine

    Printing with the same profile, same intent, same computer, same printer. PS and LR do the color management and the printer doesn't.
    At some point with CS3, PS started printing dark. This has carried over to CS4. Lightroom printing is fine.
    Ideas? I don't have a clue.
    Thanks, Hal

    Hi DYP,
    I apologize if people thought I was making political or some other kind of statement. Yes, help is what I'm after.
    OS: 10.5.5
    Printer: Epson 2200
    Driver: 3.09 (found that in /Library/Printer/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/SP2200.plugin)
    LR 2.2: in the Print Setting, I'm using No Color Management and in the Print Job panel Color Management is set to an appropriate profile from Ilford matching the paper, inkset, and printer, Rendering Intent is Relative.
    PS CS4: Color Handling is set to Photoshop Manages Colors, the same profile is being used as in LR, Rendering Intent is Relative Colorimetric.
    Driver settings: Color management is set to No Color Adjustment
    I've tested with the same photo on several occasions. I typically use a working space of ProPhoto RGB. Images look the same in both PS and LR on screen.
    Haven't done anything with a control photo. Don't know anything about them.
    I profile the monitor monthly with a Spyder.
    When I say that the prints look dark in PS compared to LR, I'm guessing it's around 2 to 3 EV darker. Color is OK.
    A few months ago, when I profiled my monitor (iMac), I set the gamma to 2.2 on advice from others. At that point, I noticed that my prints were dark. I subsequently profiled it back to 1.8. I believe that printing with PS CS3 was fine at that point. I wasn't printing with LR then. I upgraded to PS CS4. I may have changed my default color space from Adobe RGB to ProPhoto RGB. But, I would think that it would just get out of gamut issues if this was the problem.
    Thanks, Hal
