MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2007PowerPoint 2007: Notes View + grayscale = blank PDF
Hi, Using PowerPoint 2007, whenever I try to create a PDF using Notes View and in grayscale, the results are all blank pages. A PDF is created, but every page is blank. I've tried this with several different types of presentations, and asked our MIS department to try it also. All have the same result. I can't use the PDF plug in because it doesn't allow a grayscale selection. All of these files convert fine using PowerPoint 2003.

See my reply to your post in the Mac section then post back here if you would. Thanks. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ It's Windows XP. I'm not using the MS plug-in because it doesn't give grayscale as an option. I'm using Distiller 8. I've varied the ppt from a single slide to 100, from simple to complex. I've tried using 3 or 4 different types of postscript printers, including the PDF printer. Several other people here have tried with the same results. All work in 2003 and 2000, none in 2007. The problem only occurs when I am using Notes View in grayscale, which is a necessity for my job. I can do PDFs of slides in grayscale, and Notes View in color. Am I alone with this problem?

I'm not able to test this directly because I don't have Acrobat on the text box where I have 2007 installed, but I was able to produce b/w handouts like so: File, Print Select a b/w PS printer driver (I happen to have an HP 1320 but it shouldn't matter a great deal). That should default the print dialog to grayscale but override it if not. Set any other desired options Put a check next to "To File" and print. Use Distiller to process the resulting file (if you make sure it has a PS extension, Distiller should automatically fire up when you doubleclick the PS file). Here it gives grayscale PDFs with both JAWs PDF Creator and Distiller 7. Note: don't choose Distiller and To File. That's a good way to make your computer unhappy. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Are you choosing grayscale in the PPT print dialog or in the Acrobat Distiller properties?
