Why does the roadmap planner macro text come out different in PDF

Konstantin Prinz

I am using the roadmap planner macro to create a large roadmap. Depending on the bar color, the text color is either white or black. This works great on screen.

However when I export it as PDF to print it later on, the white text turns to grey. This creates an unreadable contrast...

So my question is two  pronged:

1) Can I prevent this and get it WYSIWYG same on screen and in PDF?

2) is there another way to export with proper contrast in high res for printing in A0 size?

Hi Konstantin,

What version of Confluence are you running? I tested with my Confluence version 6.7.0, and using the inspector I can see that the CSS is set to white, but has a fade setting.

When I export this to PDF, it still appears white, but using a dropper tool in Photoshop, I can see that it does add a little bit of whatever background color the bar is using. The below example is from my PDF:

Could you show me what you're seeing? I'm curious to know why it might be changing it to such an unreadable color for you.

There's no way around this that I'm aware of, but if it's not readable then this is something that should definitely be reported.

As for exporting for A0 format, the only two options are PDF or Word Document.
