    Save as PDF problem

    I'm trying to create a pdf of an Excel spreadsheet, but running into an issue with the resulting PDF having some of the colors changed to grey scale colors. I have various colors in the spreadsheet including; text, fill, and pictures, but the issue is only with the fill colors. All the other text and pictures show up correctly in the created PDF. I have a row in the spreadsheet set as a title to print on every page. It has a 2 color gradient fill pattern with white colored text in it. This title shows up as various shades of grey when I open the created PDF file. However, it does show the correct color in the print preview area when using the print to PDF option. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 19.010.20099 and Microsoft Office 365.



    Also when I save the same file as a PDF on a different computer, the fill color shows up correctly in the resulting PDF.



    Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?

    You should post your code for review.

    Not sure what you mean by posting your code?

    The PDF is being saved via the menu option in Excel, I take it? It might help if you attach the workbook and a sample PDF showing the issues here.

    Yes I've tried to use the "save as pdf" option and also the "Print pdf" as shown in the attached screen print. Also a screen print of the PDF showing the fill in the title cell grey color.

    Xfinitycable - an interesting first post here!

    There was an assumption that the OP was asking about generating a PDF with VBA code - this was incorrect.
