[Equest-users] Plots to Color PDF

Mon Feb 29 11:38:10 PST 2016

To close the loop –
Jeremy McClanathan, and several other respondents, had the solution that worked for me. If there are issues getting the prints to color pdf, assign your pdf printer to the default printer.

For me to print color, I have to set the color printer as the default printer for my machine.

You may be able to copy the graphs directly into a word report as objects from the eQUEST results view, you’ll have to copy and paste the graph and the associated legend separately, but then you can arrange them yourself in word.

I haven’t tried this approach for a while, but it worked on prior eQUEST versions.

Matthew;

Thanks for the reply. I omitted this one from the list, buts failed for me too. I even have got through to check that all of the ‘printer’ setting are to color.  Do you know if you had to do anything special for settings?

I’ve talked to my IT guys and they swear they aren’t locking color out. Not sure 100%  believe this.
Will keep playing – but good to know you’ve had success with this printer….

I personally use PDF forge pdf printer, it installs as a printer on your machine and creates pdfs, obviously, it is free and works well http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator

Thank you,

Subject: [Equest-users] Plots to Color PDF

All;

Has anyone else had issues getting the plots & bar charts that eQuest creates to print to pdf color? It seems that no matter what I have issue reliably getting these to print in color to pdf. I’ve tried a number of pdf creators [bullzip, bluebeam, primopdf, cutepdf] and all seem to fail. The ‘best’ work around has been to send to MS OneNote, then take to MS Word, THEN make the color PDF, This also make the numbers look like rubbish.

Or, are these plot created in separate files [like the SIM file is for the text results], which can then be sent to PDF? Any advance is appreciated.

Thanks,
