Highlighting Obscures Text when Printing?

[jman995x]

Hello,

Sorry if this gets posted twice. I posted it a little while ago and still
haven't seen it hit the BB yet, so am reposting it again here.

I have downloaded a document and have been writing/highlighting it.
I just went to print it (to a .PDF), and once in .PDF form, the highlighting
is there, but the words that were highlighted are gone....just huge sections
of different highliter blotches.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Justin

I just tested this, highlighting some typed text, and then printing to
a PDF using Acrobat v5 PDFwriter, and the resulting PDF page show the
highlighting and the text.

However, if I highlight part of an image, and print to PDF, the
highlighting obscures the part of the image that I've highlighted.

I would guess that the conversion to PDF treats this as two images,
with the highlighting overlaying the other.

So, if I happen to write a document, then type over it, I should be able to
see both text and highlighting,....but if I send a document to OneNote (thus
turning it into a picture), then highlight on top of that, then the
highlighting is going to take precedence....did I understand that correctly?

If that is the case, do you know if MS if working on a fix?

That's what happened when I tested it. It is an issue with the way
Adobe Acrobat "flattens" the images together when creating a PDF.
Certainly if I print the same thing to an actual printer, the image
underneath the highlighting is readable. It's not a OneNote or
Microsoft issue at all.
