Office 2010: Saving a .DOC file in .PDF produces a blue background


Question

What software program are you using to convert the file?

Ordinarily, I would think Word 2010 (like the rest of Office 2010, it can export PDFs directly - no third-party add-in required); however, that blue background is something I've never run into using Word as a PDF exporter (2010 x64 in my case).

I would check for updates to the VC++ runtimes (there are two that are critical to any versions of Office/Windows - VC++ 2005 and VC++ 2008); it's possible that one or both got reverted or broke.

That's really weird, never got that problem. Check Windows Update and make sure all Office service packs and updates are installed... You could reinstal/repair Office too.

I've found office produces do weird stuff to PDFs. For example, text is never actually black when I create PDFs using word, but rather some very dark gray. This is very noticeable when compared to the same document created using Acrobat's PDF printer. Same goes for embedded vector graphics.

Have you tried using a free PDF printer solution rather than Office's?
