Color is getting lost in some PDF files but not in others. I recently
upgraded to Acrobat 6.0. I deal with complex files so I always print to
file and then distill.
When converting a Word file to a PDF to send to our printers, the color
in the original document was lost. I did this by printing to file and
selecting Adobe Distiller, as I had always done with Acrobat 5.X with no
trouble. When printing to file, my printer choices are Adobe Distiller,
HP LaserJet postscript, and Adobe PDF.
When
checking the properties of these 3 printers in my Printers settings, only
Adobe PDF shows as having color.
In the printer dialog box, the Type listing for Adobe PDF is �PDF
converter,� for Distiller it�s �AdobePSGenericPostscriptPrinter,� and for
the HP ps Laserjet, the HP name.
Which
should I use for complex documents when printing to file? What�s the
difference between the Adobe PDF printer and Distiller printers? If
Distiller is still the printer I should use, do I perhaps just need to
get a new printer driver for the Distiller printer to keep color?
Also
baffling is when I print to file in Framemaker 6.0 and select Distiller
as my printer, the color is not lost!
