Fonts print Black instead of Color

Post by LemonBanana »

Hi Tracker-Team,

Fonts in a PDF Document display in correct color (turquoise) correct on screen. Sending the document for Print switches the color for Text-Objects to BLACK. This already happens in the PrinterSettings Preview. I tried with 3 different Printers (Inkjet, Laser). I still have a Tracker PDF-Viewer installed on another PC where the document prints correct.


kind regards

Hi Tracker-Team,

Hi Tracker Team,

I suppose I fonud the reason for the symptom in the Sourcedocument.

The Text-Object is placed with Color Attribute "Black" and the TExt has been selected and changed to turquoise afterwards. It seems the lower-level character formatting is ignoerd and the global Object Color is taken instead. I changed the color of the Higher-Level Object to turquoise and then it worked.

Bug or Feature ?

kind regards

Problem still present in current version. The other Document had sensitiv data. I did not upload it. But it occured here as well.

Sample Document:
http://www.systemsoftware.at/tracker/Tr ... Dialog.pdf

(will be removed when processed)

I added a screenshot of the PrintDialog with Document in Background as Page 2

Works fine with Foxit and Acrobat.

Hi LemonBanana,

Thanks for the sample file. I could see the problem now. I've asked a colleague from the dev team to take a look, and we will see to get this in the pipeline for fixing asap.
