Trouble printing formatted text in slides

Question

Trouble printing formatted text in slides

I created a very basic presentation (just text and one table) in the latest version of Keynote and ran into the following problem: Both when I save to PDF and when I print, text that has been bolded and/or changed to a different color will randomly just disappear. It doesn't happen for all the text that I bolded, or all the text that I changed from the default color (changed to either red or blue from the color picker). It has to be a bug, right? I don't know what else it could be, because everything looks fine within Keynote, it just goes haywire when I print or save to PDF.

Any experiences or suggestions welcomed.

I'm seeing the exact same thing!

There seems to be no way to get a PDF out of Keynote unless I remove all colour from the text of the presentation (and mine is all syntax-highlighted source code)!

@Howard - I don't suppose you found out any more since you posted?

.... actually not sure if it's the exact same thing. In my case if I change the whole text field to a single different colour it works ok (in the places that I tried).

The problem occurs when I change the colour within a text field.
