Coloured text in EPS figures (created by Origin) in PDFs

Post by gandi »

Hello,

I've got a problem with coloured (i.e. not black) text in graphs created by Origin 8. When I export the graph as an EPS the text is still in colour and it's also correct when I create a DVI from the LaTeX file. Converting the DVI into a PS (by dvips) works too. However when I convert the DVI into a PDF (by dvipdfm) the text in the graph is shown in black. Other features like curves and data points of the graph remain in the correct color.

The EPS file is included in the .tex file via \includegraphics in a figure environment. I am using MiKTeX.

If anyone knows how to preserve the coloured text after conversion to PDF, please let me know!

Hi gandi,

welcome to the board!
Try conversion ps to pdf using the ps2pdf program instead of dvipdfm.

Update:
This seems to be related to the version of Arcobat Reader you're using. In v. 8 the text is black, whereas in v. 9 it is in the correct colour (as desired).
