**I have a PageMaker 6.5 file that I converted to PDF using distiller. This

writing. When I print the document it looks fine. When some other people
print the document (on a different printer then I use and using different
drivers) the white text does not appear.**
Karen replies:
We've run into a somewhat similar situation in PageMaker and MS Word. Some
fonts, such as Stone Sans, WILL NOT print as white text in a dark
background. Try using a different font. (We found that Garamond or Arial
work.)
