MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / August 2005Publisher to PDF
Hi all. I have a publisher document which contains a number of graphs. When i convert it to PDF the labels on X axis of the graphs are blacked out. They are just Ariel font vertical text describing the values of the axis. I have tried Adobe 6 & 7 with all updates but there is no difference, making me believe it is a problem with publisher. Has anyone any ideas. Thanks Gerry Gerry graphs can be a mega pain. Whose fault - who knows. I have found the only safe guaranteed way is to convert the graphs to graphics and use the graphic. > Hi all. I have a publisher document which contains a number of > graphs.

Can you email me your publication? the UNDERSCORE nerd AT mvps DOT org Replace the obvious with the obvious. N.B. The address is posted like that for a reason. Please do not post back here with the corrected address.  SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher > Hi all. I have a publisher document which contains a number of > graphs.

Gerry sent me the Publisher and PDF files, and I was able to duplicate the problem. Looking at the file, it seems that the vertical text is being passed to Publisher as a raster graphic from the Excel OLE server, instead of a text object (as not all OLE clients can render vertical text, I would guess). I would work around this problem by removing the axis titles from the source files, and instead recreating them in Publisher. Or just put an opaque white text box over the top of them with the correct text. SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |
