Highlight Obliterates Underlying Text

Hi

I am using build 24 of the viewer.

I have created a PDF of a WordPerfect document using PDF-Xchange 3.6 build 121

I open the PDF in Viewer and then use the highlighter on certain text. This views and saves OK.

However, subsequently trying to print the PDF causes all the highlighted text to be obliterated and all I get on the printed output is a solid yellow line in place of the text.

I am printing to a HP6940 printer

Printing to my HP Laserjet4V has the same effect but I get a solid 'grey' bar.

What am I doing wrong?

It is known problem with printing highlighted text from the viewer, and we are working on fix for this trouble.

Thanks John

Is this particular to the Viewer or is it a problem with the PDF file itself?

It is a viewer's trouble.

Set option "Print as images" seems to work around this problem or save the PDF and open/print it in Acrobat

I have the same problem with highlighting becoming opaque upon printing. Workarounds I have found:
- change the default opacity to 40% or below gives you reasonably nice ouptut; the only problem is that you get a 0.5mm region where highlights from two adiacent rows overlap being much darker;
- as you suggested, too: printing as image.

But I guess it should be fixed. You might ship the distro with highlight opacity 30% or so, as a temporary workaround.

Any updates on this issue? Is the fix for printing highlights set for a particular build in the future?

We are hope to fix this issue into build 35.

Wow, I am looking forward to like it!

That will make the app perfect.
Actually, I always wonder how fine is this free software. I hope that you can get enough income from the commercial paying versions... sorry, but I do not need all those features.
