I have created a report in Microsoft Access which contains a pie chart and a bar chart. The charts print correctly to a color laser printer, however when converted to a PDF (using either the PDF option on the ribbon or printing to the PDF Printer) it returns large blocks of color.
 
To clarify, the outline of the pie chart is correct and the pie wedges are drawn correctly but the color for each wedge is simply a square of color. It appears as though the masking required to simply color the pie wedge is missing. The problem does occur when printed to a color copier.
 
Please help! Thanks!

First thing to say is that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Office 2010, so you should not use the Acrobat Ribbon (in fact you should remove those plugins completely, as they are liable to cause instability).

Why the chart appears wrong when printed to the Adobe PDF virtual printer is another issue - it'll need some time to investigate.
