I'm guessing it's an Apple macOS Sequoia issue as it has the same problem in Preview. Acrobat is fine. and printing from Acrobat is fine, though I have to edit/remove other elements on the PDF to avoid wasting lables I use a Xerox VersaLink C7000 which has been fine until macOS Sequoia and now the print drivers are causing no end of random artefacts on the print outs as well as other type alignment issues.

Update on this. I noticed that if I open the PDF in Apple Preview I get the same result. So I presume it as an Apple error. I'm using Mac OS 15.4. If you can confirm that would be great. thanks Jeremy

I buy postasge onlien via RoyalMail and then place the PDf label in a Publisher file in order to print to a lebel. All has been fine, but I have just noticed that the placed PDF is missing lots of information. I presume this occured with the 2.6.2 update. The attached screen grab shows the placed PDF in Publisher on the left and the original PDF in Arcobat on the right. The grey rectange is added for Data Protection of the address. I'm presuming this is a bug as nothing else has changed.

Excellent, thanks so much!

@lacerto – could you screen grab your settings for colour, document colour and exprt to PDF so I can replicate – thanks How do you get black text printed on a colour (CMY) not to drop out to white but overprint?

Hi. I've followed the above but all my PDFs for print have CMYK black. (using Pub 2.6.2)

Yeah. Doesn't work for me, but I've worked around it for years so not a deal breaker.

The type doesn't scale – type needs to be set as Atistic text only and then it does scale.

Ah, I'm on 2.5.3 release. Ignore me

It does work if I convert to Art Text first, then I can convert back to Text Frame after

I'm obviously not going to win at this Entered 85 mm * 50% no luck

Hmm. I never use Artistic Text – Can a normal text field be converted to Artistic Text for this purpose and then back again?

I can't get it to work Example: A rectangle with some text. Next I want to reduce the whole by 50% – The rectabgel reduces, but the text remains the same size (in a reduced text field) The only way I have found is to set a measurement (a box or guide) and drag reduce the whole until it snaps to the size I want – bit cumbersome to do but used to it after a few years!

Thanks!

I'm hoping this is the same oddity I have. I use delete a lot to 'delete' text as I type. However, recently (over the last couple of updates?) I notice that doing this deletes the whoelk text frame. Really annoying. The only way around is to stop mid flow, click agian in the text box where I want to correct and then use the delete key. Bit laborious. Is there a setting to opt for 'normal/previous' delete key behaviour? – A good exampel is typing this question I am deleting and retying as I go (usually because I hit the wrong key). In this instance the delete key does what I expect. But IN Publisher (and I presume the other apps), the delete key removes everything. thanks for any insights Jeremy
