Why do I get a black version when I convert my document to PDF?

I have been using Microsoft Publisher 2007 with XP to produce a newsletter for over 11/2 years. Today when I converted the file to PDF it is black with all kinds of wierd colors. It looks nothing like the document I produced. This has never happened before. The PDF version last month looked exactly like the white background document I produced with all the fonts in the right colors, including the pictures. This one looks like a 4 year old got ahold of it and colored it any way she wanted. Nothing looks the same as my document. What happened?

I found out that if I waited about 15 minutes the PDF file became normal. Thank heavens! I've now sent out my newsletter for my Quilt Club to our 90 e-mail subscribers and all of them I have heard from have gotten it the way I had written it. It must just have been a quirk that happened, but I sure am glad it fixed itself. I only have 5 more newsletters to write and then I am done. Thank Heaven. Thank you for trying to help. I was about to become even more crazed than I get when I have to publish the newsletter. I do it once a month and I never would have volunteered for the 2 year job if I had know how much work it is. My husband walks gently when he knows I am trying to put the newsletter together. I'm not usually crabby, but this has made me a nut case once a month. It's a good thing we've been married for 37 years, so he knows that it is only the "newsletter editor nutty lady" that is getting mad at everything and everyone, including him! Thanks for trying to help. You were the only one that answered. JO

    why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
    If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
    AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
    Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

    Why am I getting a black frame when I'm trying to add a freeze frame?

    There are a few ways to make a freeze frame. What exactly are you doing? Using the hold function? Connecting a freeze frame? Exporting a still frame? Happens it's because of the specs of your media. What are they?

  • Hello, I have includes a Web link in an image. When I convert the document in PDF, the link remains inactive. Could use me? Thank you.

    Hello,
    I have includes a Web link in an image.
    When I convert the document in PDF, the link remains inactive. Could use me?
    Thank you.

    No version of Pages will allow images to be links. We always got around this by bracketting the image with text and making the link in that.
    Pages 5 has lost the ability to have cross links in pdfs and seems to have a bug that disables any links after the first page.

  • Why do I get a black screen when loading pdf from internet

    I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to Adobe Reader 11.0.06.  Now when I attempt to download a pdf from the internet, the Reader screen opens but the text portion of the screen is black.  I can open pdf file i have previously saved.

    Another possibility to to use the Schubert PDF plug in. It has been around for years and works great.

    I do not know if it will work in Lion but it does work in Snow Leopard.

  • Printing error when I convert Word document to PDF file

    When I convert a Word document to a PDF file, I get a notificaton that there was a printing problem, but the document is converted anyhow.
    The error message started to occur after I installed an upgrade to Acrobat Pro X and is shown in the task bar with the printer icon alongside a red and white question mark next to it.
    Is there any way to get rid of the problem?

    Acrobat X Pro has problems with Explorer 9.0 and Office 64 bits version.
    I started having similar problems when I upgraded X pro to 1.2 or 1.3 version and upgraded Explorer to 9.0. I was unable to print web sites(converting to PDF) correctly causing distiller errors, or printed some pages but the fonts were illegible. You could correct the problem by going to printer property, and uncheck "rely on system fonts".
    On the other hand, technical support told me that X pro 1.2 version caused issues with office 64 bits version, and told me to upgrade 1.3 only. I did that, but by converting web sites or office files into pdfs with success, but print listing folder get error messages for each print command, and I had to clear them out. otherwise yellow triangluar mark will be attached to printer icon of Acrobat.
    Obviously, upgrade to 1.3 did not solve all the issues, and I have to stay without any upgrade at all.

  • Why do I get a black screen when I move video to laptop

    Hey
    Not sure If this is an io6 thing, before I upgraded I simply plugged my ipad into my windows laptop went to the right folder and copied the video across, no probs.
    Now when I do this QuickTime opens but it has a black screen although the sound is there.
    What is going on, nothing I do seems to fix it. I have used imovie on ipad for some videos although it is effecting those that have not been through imovie as well.
    Any suggestions.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    As Guest, launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.

  • Why do i get a black box when typing in an email address.

    when i start to type an email address when sending an email, a black box appears over the "to" area. sometimes it covers just one line and sometime it covers the whole email "to" area. it eventually goes away, but in the meantime my email address lines are blocked out with this black box

    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select   View ▹ Show Log List   from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • When I convert pages document to pdf

    the formatting is wrong - the font size is smaller and there is a larger margin on right and left side. Does anyone have a similar problem? And more importantly, can help me find a solution?

    You are describing the behavior of a document whose feature "Comments" is active.
    If it's that, it was described here and there many times.

  • Why do I get a norwegian version of MUSE when all the other Adobe programs are in english version? I have setup the installer to English.

    Why do I get a norwegian version of MUSE when all the other Adobe programs are in english version? I have setup the installer to English.

    Muse uses AIR and if that is installed in Norwegian, so Muse will show stuff in that language. You may simply need to reinstall Adobe AIR in English.

  • Why does my imac get a black screen when switching on

    why does my imac get a black screen when turning on, and logging in is very slow.

    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Let us know if these  procedures don't solve the problems.
    Hope this helps
