Color fill after converting to pdf

[Sandra]

When I fill a text box or auto shape with a solid color, after converting to
pdf (primo) it suddenly shows as a type of plaid pattern. I have double,
triple and quadruple checked and I have not selected any type of patterns,
and all my settings are normal. Working on a recent file that I shared with
a friend, her filled boxes are NOT showing this same pattern after
converting, only mine. What could be causing this on my program only and
what can I do to fix it?

Are you certain you are not applying transparency? Is your friend using the same
PDF converter? What version Publisher?
Microsoft has a save as a PDF add-in if you are using 2007.

Thank you Mary, I went out of town shortly after posting this and just got
back to reading the responses. It was the transparency. I didn't know
transparency would show up that way. Thank you, this was an issue thats been
bothering me for the longest time but I never had the time to really address
it until now. Great to have it resolved!

You can use transparency but in a workaround way. Select the image as a .png
picture, insert into your publication.

Should say *save the image as a .png picture*.
