CutePDF ... advice requested


European

Recommended Posts

Hi from a newbie.

 

This is no doubt the wrong forum - but I'm having a problem with CutePDF Pro, and I see that you guys mention it now and then. And I have not been able to find a dedicated CutePDF forum. So ...

 

My problem is that when I receive a PDF text file from a customer for proofreading, it occasionally contains a few pages of *white* text (presumably for printing eventually against an image, which he doesn't/can't include). But, of course, I can't read his white text against my white screen. The net result as far as I'm concerned is that the text simply isn't there :( .

 

I understand that Adobe Acrobat Pro has a function with which you can place a coloured layer behind white text in order to read it. But I may not be getting much of this type of thing from my customer - so I would be very happy if I could find a solution in the significantly cheaper CutePDF Pro.

 

Any advice/help/comments out there? Thank you.

Use the Stamp tool. Create a jpeg that is a solid light grey color.

 

Click on stamp tool>Stamp Image>Browse to your Grey image>click "underlay" in the placement box>click ok.

 

You should be able to see all the white text now.

 

Hope this helps. :D

Thank you, Bmapper ... I later submitted a query to the CutePDF Pro Support Line (which initially I wasn't aware of), and they gave me substantially the same advice.

 

The information solves my problem ... :) ... thanks again.
