White text appears black/grey after export to PDF - but only on a PC!

I use Pages to make flyers in A4-format. But 8 out of 10 times I make one, convert it to PDF and send it to my boss via Mail, I get a reply where he says that everything looks good but the text.
I have a colored background or image with white text on top in its own layer.
This problem has been tauting me for several weeks now, and I thought I had the soloution recently when I started to make sure that the text layer where brought to the front (top layer). But still i get the message back that the text is either black or dark grey and can´t be read on his PC. It looks fine on my Mac, but not on his XP/Vista computer.
- I usually convert using the "Better" compression mode.
- I tried to convert it using Print - Print to PDF but the problem persists.
- I have deleted the plist-file as well. Same problem.
But since this doesnt happen with all my flyers, I am beginning to think that there is something I am doing "wrong" while making the flyer or that there is some kind of "rule" that I dont know about. Or is it an unstable PDF-export algorithm?
Can anybody help me please?

White text turning black/grey in Safari 3.1/3.2

I have a very odd problem I have not been able to find the answer to anywhere else. I have created a website that has white text on dark blue background. It looks fine in all other browsers except for Safari 3.1 and 3.2. All of the <p> tags have turned black/grey. I am completely stumped.

I haven't looked at your stylesheet, but lots of errors reported by the validator in your stylesheet that you may want to fix..

Do not worry about the errors being reported for the spry stylesheet where it refers to the iframe - they always throw an error, it's the others you have to worry about.

Blacks turn dark grey after exporting to pdf from InDeign cs6

Exactly what the title says. The one on the right is from Indesign....the left one is after exporting (the same in preview and acrobat reader).Anyone know why this happens?

In this case it looks like the color change is because the color mangement settings are not sync'd and not a color conversion—if there was a CMYK-to-CMYK conversion on export the image wouldn't show through.
ID, Acrobat, and Preview all display some black CMYK mixes as something other than absolute black, but the preview depends on the color settings so there could be a shift if they don't match.
Different black mixes US SWOP Coated with Black Point Compensation
The same values with an Uncoated CMYK profile without BPC:

It looks like the 2 DLLs you mentioned, are getting corrupted or modified due to some operation that might have been performed on them. Can you please try the below mentioned instructions and see if that gets your application to install without any errors:
1. Try installing your business app.
2. When you see the error message as stated, try running the below mentioned commands: (Start | Run | Type cmd and hit Enter)
    regsvr32 LTKRN11n.dll /i /s
    regsvr32 LTKRN11n.dll /s
    regsvr32 LTDIS11n.dll /i /s
    regsvr32 LTDIS11n.dll /s
3. The above commands should fix the issues in the mentioned DLLs and allow normal installation of your business app.
Hope this gets your app to work and install properly.

I'm looking for a template for writing an eBook in Pages. I know about exporting to PDF but wondered if I needed a specific type of template or another software of some kind. I have an older iBook G4 (and love it BTW) and am using Pages 3.03

Peter,
does Pages v4 (09) work on a G4 chip? I think I've updated this old Mac iBook as far as it will go. In other words will I need to buy a newer laptop to get the Pages 09 to work and ouput to an eBook? Thanks. Richard

Black text on white background has horrible glow after export & viewed on TV.

I'm wondering how to correct a glow that develops around black text after exporting. Black text is on white background of course.
Export settings:
H.264
HDTV 1080p 24 HQ
I've checked of 'use max. render quality' as well as 'render at max. depth'
If someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to try the contrast change.
In Titler ..make the White Fill less than full white. ( Color Picker Fill) 235 to 245 should be fine.
I would not mess with the Black and you should not need to Key line anything with Grey.
But maybe you did not make this text in Titler.
If not..you need to make the changes in original application. eg PhotoShop.
What TV is involved in viewing this?
How does the Text look in the PPRO Monitors?

When using Hotmail my email text appears black, but when I look at them in my sent folder they are going from black to grey. Can this be resolved?

When using hotmail my email text appears blac, but when I get replies or look at the sent folder the emails are partly black text and then go grey, how do I stop this happening all the time please

Which email service provider are you using? You can install DropBox and share links to the files that way. When you snd to your self (cc or bcc) do the items show up? What file types and sizes are these attachments? Are you sending over WiFi or cellular connection? Try using more than one email account from a different provider (Gmail, yahoo, iCloud, etc) and see if it is email provider specific.

White text on black -- black text on white?

I have a pdf document that has a black background with (mostly) white text (highlighted text is blue).
Is there any way using Acrobat Pro X to invert that to get a "normal" document with black text on a white background?
If I try Tools > Pages > Edit Page Design > Background > Remove Background, there's a progress bar that says "Removing background," but after a short time that goes away having done nothing. If I try Update Background, I get an error message: "Adobe cannot find a background in this file. If you see a background, it was not added in Acrobat or by an AdobePDFMaker, and cannot be detected as such."

The only thing I can think of to try is to print the document and then scan it, setting your scanner to reverse black and white.

Change Background to White & Text To Black

Hello,
I am trying to use FCP7 to change my background to white (rather than black) and my text to white.
I used View -> Background -> White and then changed my text colour to white.
Everything seems fine in my timeline, and is rendered.
But when I go to Export video, the export has a blackbackground and no text.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc

Thanks Nick, I asked a friend about Color Matte. You were right. The next step is chose Color Solid then change that color from blue to white. Then add a new track and insert slug with the white color matte and all is good! Thanks!

Indesign to PDF. Logo appears blurred after exporting to PDF.

I have a png and jpeg logo that appears fine in my indesign doc but when I export to PDF the image is blurred and has a white line around the logo edge as if the image is bleeding into the page.
The png and jpeg logo file (I have tried both versions) is 4x4 inches and 300 dpi. I am a loss at to what the problem is. I have tried smooth line art in the Adobe preferences.. but nothing works there.
Is there a standard setting for Indesign and Adobe (in terms of output) that would help resolve this issue.. ? Any ideas greatly appreciated...

Hi. Thanks for stepping in with some advice. I'm actually exporting at print quality so avoiding the low resolution pdf issue but the logo has a transparent background and is a png file. Would it help if I resaved it as a vector file? Any further advice would be welcome. It looks 100% fine in Indesign but just my exporting to PDF makes the logo look terrible. Thanks again..

White screen in Avid Meridian after export from FCP 6?

After exporting a sequence as 10 bit uncompressed NTSC (using AJA Kona II card) on FCP Ver. 6.06, I imported the file into my Avid Symphony (Meridian).
When I tried to play the file, I could only see a white screen. Audio plays fine.
I have searched Apple, AJA (Kona card) and Avid websites, but can't seem to find a codec or update that addresses this problem.
Any suggestions?

Ahhh...I think the big issue is that you are running that Avid on a PC. So what you need to do is convert the file to the Avid Meridian QT codec, and then bring it over. This means that you need to download that Avid codecs and install those on your Mac.
And there will be a gamma shift...no way around that. You'll have to correct for that on the Avid.

White text on black menus?

Hi all,
Since updating to Snow Leopard I noticed that when dock menus pop up, they are now white text on a slightly transparent black background. Personally, I really like this! Now, is there a way to get all drop down and context menus to look like this?
Thanks!
Steven

Sorry but no, it's not possible. You can tell Apple what you think here:
