Hi: I created a number of bar graphs from Excel and customized the color and pattern for each bar. I copied each graph then pasted into my Arc 10 Layout. The colors looked fine there. When I printed to PDF, though, the bars all came out as solid white, though all the other information and background colors were correct. I've fiddled with several different setting on the Print PDF menu, but nothing's working. See attached screen shots.

Ideas?

Many thanks.

George

Did you try getting rid of the pattern and going with a solid color?  Anything off path causes problems with pdf (ie transparency, raster symbology etc)
