    Symbol with text?

      Hi,

       

      One of my co-workers has created ~15 coloured boxes with text on them. Each box has a specific Pantone-colour and a text "on top" indicitating the Pantone-number. She has created a symbol-file containing these 15 boxes, so she can use these boxes in whichever document she pleases.

       

      They have been added in the usual way (create symbol-file, add symbol library etc) and they seem to work fine. However, when we print the files the text disappears.

       

      IE. we have a blue box with the text "this is blue number 00001". When printing it's just a blue box without the text.

       

      I realise the above isn't too specific, but I'm not an expert in Illustrator and the terms, unfortunately, so let me know if you need any further explanation.

       

      We're using AI CS6 64-bit on Windows 7.

       

      Thanks in advance,

      Thomas
