View Full Version : Pdf - colours?

SuperBeam 4.56f

I use COLOUR (red) for the Section and Notes etc.
Paper printouts still work fine.
BUT
If I need to use PDF the colours are lost - BLACK only. Before 4.56f we had colours.
I have tried ticking "Embed all fonts" (whatever that means!) but there are no obvious changes and there is no assistance in "Help".

Am I missing something or is a fix possible?

I look forward to "SPLICES" IN SuperBeam like the latest ProSteel!

Happy Christmas - Tony Leslie Sutherland

The colour choice for PDF fonts should be honoured - I will check it out and change if necessary.

Beam splices will not find their way into SuperBeam. Apart from wrestling with a printing issue affecting a minority of SuperBeam and ProSteel users, the current main focus of work is on EuroBeam. Ultimately this will include everything in SuperBeam and ProSteel - steel and timber beams and columns, beam web openings, connections and splices - though the first release may be limited to beams and columns.

Seasons Greetings to you and all other SuperBeam and ProSteel users.

PDF - colours

I decided to try again - 24 hrs later - and find - COLOURS WORK AGAIN.

Don't know why but let us just press on.

Ignore me!

SORRY TONY - Forget my reply about 10 mins ago.

Direct PDF transfer loses my colours.

I inadvertely used a scanned paper sheet and not the direct transfer data.

I think there is a gremlin in there somewhere !
