Problem printing changed page background color

I have changed the page backgound colour in custom package and it shows the colour (green) on the monitor and in preview but the printer does not seem to recognise the colour - the background when printed is black. I can trun off the colour and get a white background, but I would like a green background!!.
LR 3.5, Win7 and Epson SPR 1800. Printer colour management off, correct profile used.
Any help gratefully received.

The program creating the file is ReScan. I can print the file before I open with Acrobat. If I make any changes to the file, I am unable to print from Acrobat those pages which had changes made, even thou they show on the monitor fine. If I print to CutePDF Writer instead of directly to one of my three printers (I get the same result with all three different printers) then I can print the CutePDF Writer file.
The fonts I am editing are installed on my system. Not sure what I am doing wrong to cause the program not to print. Don't want to have to use CutePDF every time I need to print. The program should be able to print an edited and saved document.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How do I change the background color on pages I try to print or view?

when I installed/downloaded Mozilla/Firefox originally, I "set" an option that changed the "background" color for certain pages that I download. When I try to print some pages, the entire background (or some blank spaces) is printed in a purple color. (It uses too much ink to print a page.)
Can't find where I can change the original settings I used and make the background white, or no color at all.

Specifically to add a background color, no. The only workaround I am aware of is to add a text box to the document format and expand it to cover the entire page. Available colors will be limited, and you may need to experiment with the opacity.

How do i change the background color in pages

I am using the app on an iPad2. I I would like to know how to change the background color.

Create a rectangle, and fill the whole page with it. Change the colour and then use text boxes to put writing on the background. Its a bit complicated because the background can move when your moving text boxes and making the rectangle bigger but you'll get the hang of it. I hope Apple can make this easier to do!

How do I change the background color of the pages?

Do you know how to edit the template? If not simply choose a rectangle shape, change colour to Black and using ARRANGE, send to back and bring forward till it replaces whatever is there.
The best way is to pull down the book slide to reveal the Layout - which shows you the chapters and section etc which make up a template. You have to use the same procedure on ever page from the template you intend to use.
In the Template Layout, select your page. Click on whatever your background colour is...IF its unlocked you see the square pull handles in corners - now simply select Black and it should change the colour - if not and its unlocked, it may be a black image, in which case delete it, Insert a new rectangle, pull to fit the page and change colour to black. It should now be hiding the other content, ARRANGE > Send to Back and it should sit behind all your content. Now go back to arrange and LOCK.
You should see a red marker on the left with whatever page you are editing "Save Changes" click it and its done... repeat on all other pages.

Can you change the background colors in templates on Pages?

I love the newsletter templates in Pages, but I can't figure out a way to change the background color. I am supposed to use specific colors so I was hoping there was a way to change the background colors in some of the tables. Is there a way?

Hi, yes, I clicked the box that I wanted to change the background in. I made sure that the correct box was selected and not the text box on top of it. Then I clicked Fill on the top bar and selected the color that I wanted to change it to. I only wanted to change the color in certain boxes - I didn't want to change the entire background of the newsletter template. I hope I explained this ok

In Pages 09' how do I change the background colors on the templates?

I have been trying to change the background on one of the templates from red to green for a while. I can't figure it out and i can't find answers online any where that are helpful at all. I just need to changes the background color to what I want it to be and not what the programs sets them too. Any ideas? I'm totally stumped!
Thanks for the help!

Hi Burke,
Here's the result, using Peggy's suggestion:
Process:
Click on the thin strip of red to the left of the title ("THE THOMPSONS") to select the background.
You'll see the small x in each corner, indicating the object is locked.
Go Arrange > Unlock (or press option-command-L) to unlock the object.
Click on the Fill Color well in the format bar, and choose a new colour from the palette.
Go Arrange > Lock (or press command-L to re-lock the object.
Save the result.
Regards,
Barry

I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello Floridamacbookpro,
You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

- Open PDF document in Adobe Acrobat X;
- Click on Tools --> Pages --> Under 'Edit Page Design' select Background and then 'Add Background';
- In Add Background window, under Source --> From color, select the color of your choice and click OK'.
You can also refer to the screenshots mentioned below:

Pages background color

Is it possible to change the page background color in Pages?
I mean, in Word, Online Layout, you can set a different background color to your page, even if it is only on display and the page remains white when you print it.
I find it very helpful not to burn your eyes with a white background, when you spend 12 hour in a row in front of it... I would like to set a grey or beige background. Ugly, but eye-comfortable...

The only way I know of to change the background color in Pages is to insert a rectangular object, stretch it to cover the page, color it, then send it to the background. It will print unless you remove it before printing. You could make a template to have ready so you would not have to do it everytime.

How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

Hi all,
I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
<html>
<header><title>Test</title></header>
<body bgcolor="#999999">
Test
</body>
</html>
But this does not work...
When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.
Thans
Leonid Pavlov

could you try this
<table bgcolor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>
test
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
<body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.
