I copied each graph then pasted into my Arc 10 Layout. The colors looked fine there. When I printed to PDF, though, the bars all came out as solid white, though all the other information and background colors were correct. I've fiddled with several different setting on the Print PDF menu, but nothing's working. See attached screen shots.</P><P>Ideas?</P><P>Many thanks.</P><P>George</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 20 Aug 2017 22:27:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/excel-bar-graphs-not-printing-correct-color/m-p/243667#M793 GeorgeDurkee 2017-08-20T22:27:48Z Re: Excel bar graphs not printing correct color/patterns https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/excel-bar-graphs-not-printing-correct-color/m-p/243668#M794 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Did you try getting rid of the pattern and going with a solid color?&nbsp; Anything off path causes problems with pdf (ie transparency, raster symbology etc)</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 20 Aug 2017 22:50:04 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/excel-bar-graphs-not-printing-correct-color/m-p/243668#M794 DanPatterson_Retired 2017-08-20T22:50:04Z Re: Excel bar graphs not printing correct color/patterns https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/excel-bar-graphs-not-printing-correct-color/m-p/243669#M795 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yep, that did it.
