Word to PDF, issue with gradient colors
Hello all,
I've got a simple shape in Word filled with a gradient color. As I "Print" or "Save As" the Word document in PDF, the color gradient is not showing properly in the PDF file. In Word, I've already been in Options / Display / and selected "Print background colors and images", but it doesn't change anything.
Please can somebody help?
This is how it looks like while I'm in Microsoft Word
And this is the PDF result as I do Print in PDF or Save As in PDF from the Word document.
Try one of the free, third-party PDF "Printers" such as Bullzip PDF or PrimoPDF
I've tried PDF Architect and it did not work, but I finally figured out that the issue was coming from the Transparency setting in the Format Shape pane. Apparently, Microsoft Word 2019 is not able to properly manage this setting anymore.
Try using some of the free pdf "printers" such as Bullzip PDF, or PrimoPDF.
