      I've recently had a new problem arise when trying to print pdf files created from ID CS4. The text in all table header rows appears on screen but won't print!

      The first time I thought it was a font issue, but now after using a standard font the same problem still happens. I converted the header row text to outlines to in order to get the document to print correctly, but this is only a temporary solution. I would like to get to the root of the problem.

      First off, this only happens when I'm using table styles. Normally I use an individual cell style for the header row, but only the generic table style for the rest of the table. The documents I'm working on have little consistency between the text in cells throughout the document, and change regularly, so creating individual cell styles is not worth the effort. Instead I apply paragraph styles or GREP styles locally.

      Has anyone else had this problem? For now I will stop using table styles, but I would prefer not to!

      • are you on a mac or windows?

      • are you working with CS4 straight off of the shelf or has it been updated to 6.04?

      • when making the pdfs, are they being made via the adobe pdf export presets OR are the pdfs being made by file, print?

      • using the attributes panel, nothing silly has happened like a character style or colour being set to non-printing?

      • are you able to save as an inx and open in CS3 to see if the same thing happens?

      that's all i can really think of… hope this helps.

      on that note, i've had some strange things happen in CS4 in the past 24 hours (e.g. copying and pasting text only from indesign into word on a pc made indesign crash (until it was updated to CS4); and a psd with transparency over the top of a spot colour kept coming up as white only on the pdf until i saved out the file as an inx and made a pdf through CS3).
