Hi,
you may need to tick the Plot transparency option in plot dialog . can you make a screenshot for your issue ?

You can put a wipeout around the text so it masks a small rectangle over the picture. Click on the text and right click and pick text editor. There's a button called mask in the ribbon. There's a few options. Try them and see which you like best.

Hi,
>> I put words over the top that are white
If you are using AutoCAD 2018 and you used true color 255,255,255 then change the value to 254,254,254 ... there is a small bug with true-color-white and transparency.
Otherwise ... uploading the DWG + the JPG would help us to see what you have. Not seeing the text could be so much (on a no-plot layer, in the draw order behind the image, visual styles set to handle 3D, ...).

i think that the problem is NOT in the text transparency , the darkness of the image is the case.

Hi,
>> But the look of the text is not changing as i change the text transparency?
Does not change on the display: set TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY to 1
Does not change on the plot: make sure "Plot transparency" is activated in the plot dialog
>> I’m sure this is an easy fix
Yes, if we have the data it might be easy.

Here you see an example.
Image on a layer with 50% transparancy.
Text on a layer with 70% transparancy.
Text should be TrueType though (not shx)!
To plot you schould check "plot transparancy"

Hi,
>> That fixed it in autocad but when I go to print or
Please use _PLOT and use the driver "DWG to PDF.pc3" and make sure the checkbox for "plot transparency" is active in the plot-dialog.
>> or save as pdf the text color look 100% bright
There does not exist a "Save As" to PDF, if you mean command _EXPORTPDF then please use _PLOT, there are more options for the output.
If that does not work (and you want to avoid a day long try-and-error) please show us your data.

Hi,
>> How do i attach a screenshot?
Not a screenshot, in images we can't see your plot settings.
Please upload the dwg + the image you used in the dwg + the PDF you get when you plot.
Best would be to open your drawing, run commmand _ETRANSMIT and create a ZIP file from your dwg and your referenced files like the image (and CTB/STB if you used one).
When you are then in your internet browser to type the reply to this post you see one line below the text-input box a line with "Attachments" ... there you can attaach this zip file.
