I have prepared an A0 sized poster in MS Publisher but when I go to Publish 
it to PDF all the Blue and Red Text boxes change to black. Is there anything 
I can do to prevent this? I am using MS Publisher 2007

Are you using the Microsoft add-in? Try a different converter, see if that 
solves your problem. There are many free converters around. www.primopdf.com 
is mentioned here often.

Hi Mary,

Thanks for the comment. Yes I was using the addin. I have tried CutePDF as 
well as PrimoPDF. Both reproduce the colors correctly but they won't 
reproduce some of the other images correctly. At least you have alerted me to 
where the problem lies. It sounds like there's probably not much more I can 
do. I'll see if the printer has a more reliable PDF converter.

=============================================
Might be worth a try to save as a Picture in the PNG format.

Hi,

Thanks for the ongoing feedback. Your solution has led me to better 
understand the limitations of Publisher. 
1) I have created an A0 poster. The printer has asked me to give him a file 
that is 300DPI but I cannot save a document that size at that resolution in 
PNG Format. 
2) I found in one of the help pages that images with transparency won't 
convert well to PDF and they are the ones I am having problems with. It 
suggests grouping those items together, saving them as an Bitmap and 
inserting the picture. Unfortunately that too is too big to save

I think I will just take what I have to the printer and see if there's 
anything he can do, otherwise it's back to the drawing board or see how a 150 
DPI image looks

==================================
FWIW...in my version of Pub 2007 I can save
as PNG and on the 'Save As' screen I can click
the 'Change' button and select 300 dpi.

Also...you could try saving as TIFF / 300 dpi.

I just thought I would post this as the only solution I found, in case 
someone else is looking for a solution to the same problem. I ended up 
copying and pasting the text box into another application and pasting it back 
as an image instead of a text box. It can't be edited as text any more but it 
prints out correctly now.
