How do I remove blue background from a document?

Post by Lighthouse_Foundation »

I have a document with a blue background that I want to print. I would like to remove the blue background but when I go to Document>Background>Remove All, nothing happens. How do I get rid of the blue background and replace it with normal white?

Hello Lighthouse_Foundation,

That blue part of your file might be a different type of object that is not recognized as a "background" object by the Editor.
If you can share a sample with us - we would be happy to take a look and advise further.
If the file is sensitive and you do not want to share it here in the forums - please e-mail it to support@pdf-xchange.com with a link back to this topic.

Kind regards,
Stefan

[SOLVED] How do I remove blue background from a document?

Post by Lighthouse_Foundation »

Thanks to a prompt and helpful customer service representative at Tracker who replied to a private email, the solution was quite simple. So for the benefit of anybody else who encounters this problem, here's the solution: Edit tool, then click on a blank area (away from text and images) to select the object that makes up the background. After that, press delete.

The blue background is gone. Thank you again, Tracker folks.
