I have a long workshheet with a few  red or black two colour plots. When I save as PDF some of the red traces show as black. I have been very careful with Plot positions and spacing.  I have tried saving from the Math tab and the Document tab. Is there some official guidance?

Thankyou all for trying. I found the problem very close to home!

I removed and re-entered all graphics. There must have been an errant finger stroke somewhere!

      Thankyou Vladimir for your prompt response and previous help.

      I guess that I did not describe my PDF problem too well; I have been beating ( and losing) on this problem for several weeks!

      This is a Patent disclosure which I should not share yet. I am 87 and my retirement fun job was in the JSF Program Office.

      I am trying to create and save a PDF file with some two colour plots to my desktop using Win 11.

      The saved PDF file shows red traces as black for the first four two colour plots, but is ok for the few that remain.

      When saved as separate PDF files each is displayed with red and black plots.

      None of the http sources or Help were of use. 

      I have tried .rtf and it only produced black plots.

      I have tried on another pc using Win 10.

      If it is something you cannot share in public, I suggest filing a case with PTC Support and selecting the option about sharing confidential information with PTC.

      Have you tried using the Microsoft print to PDF app. I use it as it does a better job of turning Mathcad files to PDF's.

      Maybe you can create a simple sample worksheet containing just a few dummy plots which shows the same strange behaviour.

      If possible attach that worksheet along with the pdf which Prime9 created.
