Question

Help - how can I remove text in the background?

I am translating a text from English into Portuguese in a document created in Germany (as .mif 7).

After I inserted the Portuguese text, a ruler and the words "498 Entwurf 15.06.2011" in red and "Abstand" in sky blue started to appear in the background, as well as some kind of a grid (please see attached image). I need them to disappear when the document is printed, but I haven't been able to make them disappear so far. The words in red indicate the name of the document (498) and the date when it was originally created. I need the document to have a white background only with the letters in black and images (just like the original, but in Portuguese - no words in sky blue and red and no grid).

This is probably easy to solve and I may sound really silly, but I've already lost 3 hours and I'm getting desperate because I need to deliver the document as soon as possible.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best,

Paulo Rodrigues

Hi,

I think the converter you are using to convert it to portuguese is a free converter and it has been noticed that when you use the free or trial version of any converter ,it generally puts its name in the PDF document and you have to buy that product to get rid of it.If thats true then we would not be able to remove that text.

Kindly let me know if thats correct what i said.

Thanks

Harpreet.

Hi Harpreet. Thank you very much for your reply. There's nothing wrong with the converter, actually it has always worked with other documents of the same kind. The background text and grid shows up in the FM document itself and also in the PDF. I think that if I could get rid of it in the FM version then the PDF would be perfect.

Best,

Paulo
