I was trying to create a PDF with the free version of pdf redirect. I noticed that PDFR changed the colors of some of the fonts and also removed the colored boxes around some text. I took a screenshot so you can see what I mean.

I think the problem might be that the dimensions of the webpage are not 8.5x11. I tried adjusting the paper size and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any help would be appreciated.

PDF left Webpage right.

Make sure you have enabled "Print Background (colors & images)"  in page setup of your browser.  In firefox go to print preview and click page setup. Check the box for "Print Background".  Note that if this is selected and you print to a hardcopy printer you will use a lot of extra ink printing all those colored boxes and background colors. That is why it is disabled by default.
Have a great day!

Wow thanks, that was it. One more thing, In firefox 4 text is not selectable from the generated PDF's like it is in firefox 3. Just throwing that out.

Thanks for the observation. I have not yet downloaded Firefox v4 - I need to do that to see why the text is not selectable. Will keep you posted if I find anything.
