Don't know if it is an issue with the Chrome print function or my PC (Win 11)
When I press "ctrl+p" for printing the document from here: https://technical.swissmicros.com/dm32/ ... anual.html
And choose "print to pdf" in the printer dialog box, the blue and orange text colours doesn't carry over. I only get bold typefont in black.
Ive ticked out for "print background colours" and top/bottom text.
Still the 163 pages .pdf only shows pictures correctly, but no coloured text or icons.

Same In Safari on a Mac. Printing to PDF loses any text colour e.g. section 1, About this User Manual the GTO / EQN text in row 2 of the table is black.
Re: Print to pdf does not carry over colours
This is a problem with the HTML code and has nothing to do with the type of computer, operating system or browser that you are using. Try printing to a physical color printer, and you will have exactly the same problem.

Re: Print to pdf does not carry over colours
I copy pasted everything into Apples Pages and that brought the color along but lost some math formatting instead.
Doing a export to PDF directly from Safari did keep both colors and formatting but the pages becomes emmencly long and is not that suitable either.

I’m the Required one.

Re: Print to pdf does not carry over colours
Several CSS properties can control how HTML prints. We've made modifications to these properties and the HTML should now print with colors.
Re: Print to pdf does not carry over colours
Unfortunately, the "calculator keys" still do not print as black rectangles, and blue text still prints as black, UNLESS the "Print background graphics" is turned on in the printing options, which should not be necessary because most users never turn that option on.

It does. Thanks!

Re: Print to pdf does not carry over colours
It must be an OS and/or browser specific issue, "Print background graphics" is off and I see the black rectangles and text in color is rendered correctly.Joe Horn wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 2:41 pmUnfortunately, the "calculator keys" still do not print as black rectangles, and blue text still prints as black, UNLESS the "Print background graphics" is turned on in the printing options, which should not be necessary because most users never turn that option on.
Edit: I just tried it with multiple browsers, it seems to be a Blink rendering engine issue (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc), with Gecko (Firefox) and WebKit (Safari) it works.

Re: Print to pdf does not carry over colours
In case I wasn't clear, I was referring to how it PRINTS, not how it's rendered on a computer screen. It LOOKS just fine in Edge, but PRINTING from Edge loses some colors. If that was understood, please ignore this reply.pcscote wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 2:45 pmIt must be an OS and/or browser specific issue, "Print background graphics" is off and I see the black rectangles and text in color is rendered correctly.Joe Horn wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 2:41 pmUnfortunately, the "calculator keys" still do not print as black rectangles, and blue text still prints as black, UNLESS the "Print background graphics" is turned on in the printing options, which should not be necessary because most users never turn that option on.
Re: Print to pdf does not carry over colours
If using Firefox to print .pdf, the internal hyperlinks are linking to the online .html file. The .pdf file downloaded is abt 4MB.
With Chrome, all internal links carry over and links within the downloaded .pdf. This file, however clocks in at 17MB.
This is not a "bug report", just information.
