I am also having the problem of coloured text in a text box changing to black when saving a publisher file as a pdf. I am running Publisher 2007 and Acrobat 7.0 on Windows XP (5.1.2600) Home Edition. I have downloaded the add in. I am saving in CMYK colour. I tried saving as a pdf instead of publishing as a pdf but it hasn't made any difference. I also have a box at the bottom of the page that is filled with gradient colour change from white to red and the red is coming through ok even though the red text changes to black. Any other thoughts?
