I'm using Pages 08 still, and I'm creating newsletters, should be simple enough. But when I export to pdf, there are portions of the text that change color. For example, I have white text and a brown background, and for some reason the text changes to black. The Pages document still shows it as white, it only happens with the exported pdf document. I triend deleting the brown background layer, re-exported, but the font color still changes. Thoughts?
You have not said what version of Pages '08 you are using nor what version of OSX.
For problems like these usually simply updating both Pages '08 and the version of OSX to the latest versions, fixes the problem. That does not mean upgrading to Pages '09 or OSX 10.8.2, just the latest of those you have installed.
Failing that you need to look at what color model your text is. Stick to the cmyk that OSX's pdfs use and avoid rgb which is screen color.

Here are a couple of articles on cmyk use in Pages.
The CMYK thing worked. Both my operating system and software were up-to-date. Just had to make sure the font was in CMYK color. Thanks!
