I have a 3 page color pdf file that I'm printing using Adobe Acrobat Reader ver. 5. The file displays the pages in color fine, but when I send the file to a color plotter (a HP 450C), the pages comes out in Black & White!! The results are the same if I use NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 workstation to send the print job.

I've tried messing with the settings after clicking the 'Properties' button after sending the file to print, clicking the 'Color' tab and ensuring that 'ColorSmart' is set 'Automatic' (on a different try, I tried manually adjusting the color, to no avail). I even printed to the plotter so that print job was sent as an image. Same result every time.

I have no idea why this isn't working with color. Anyone have ideas???
