Printing in Colour, all of it in colour

Sparkylabs

I am trying to print to PDF, I have got the print settings to colour by rectangles with text in them and a coloured background just come out as black boxes. My schematic is pointless if i cannot export it in some other format.

    Ok, I just figured it out, you are talking about the indenting to show where the replies are relating. You are right, EEVBlog doesn't do that but there are loads that do and it does make it easier to follow…

    No it's not this simple. The schematic itself came out in colour once I chose the colour option, The problem is that transparent backgrounds which are all of the black boxes in my attached PDF are coming out as solid black instead of transparent allowing the text to show through.

    Can you post your .sch file?  I've never had problems with that sort of thing before so it must be something in how it's layered.
