Adobe Reader 9.0 background color

I just downloaded Adobe Reader 9.0. The default background color is black. How can I change that to a different color? I'm not talking about the background color when in "full screen" mode; I just mean when the reader is open and no document is open, or when a document is open but not in full screen mode.

Believe it or not, the single reason why I'm staying with Adobe Reader 8 and do not upgrade to Adobe Reader 9 is too dark background of the main application window (not the full-screen mode, since that color is adjustable). In Reader 8, the color was gray, and in Reader 9, the color is dark gray which results in too high contrast compared to the usually white document background.
Is there a way to change this color, even if editing a registry key is needed?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 background color

Is there any way to change the background color in the document display window of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0? It is very hard to read the documents against the default black background. I have been able to change the background color on the full screen display, but not the default display. This was not a problem in my older version of Acrobat.

Sound like you must be getting to my age - with black background problems. I don't know how we used to survive with that as the default in DOS!
Anyway, you can check the background issues. What I have done in the past is to use the object touchup tool. I simply select the page out at the border that picks up the background and move it to check. If I got it right I simply delete the selection. Worth a try anyway. If you have a lot of pages it will be a pain.

Reader 9 - Application background color

Just installed A R 9 - the background to the application is black. I know I can change that when the display is in Full Screen mode, but can it be changed for Normal view? Why black??

I have solution for this problem that I have to use:
1) Run maximized application with desired background color (i use empty file opened in GVim with light gray background color)
2) Enable in Reader Reading mode (ctrl+h) and Resize width of Adobe Reader window to the width of the document when you see just a strip of Adobe-stupid black background
Or you can use different viewer for pdf files (that is probably even better solution)

Default settings in adobe reader 9 may cause colors to shift error

Upon printing a color document to PS printer, Adobe reader 9
gives the following message:
Obviously, one cannot see the options but... Top appears to do nothing, nothing prints. Middle you get print, bottom no print. One of these has to be a fix button chosing this and restarting adobe results in the same message again. If you check do not show this box, it never prints and you don't get this option to select the middle choice that makes it work. So, my question is, what is this dialog changing, and why won't it hold it's value? If the box never appears again, what configuration option do we need to change to get the file to print?

I am getting the exact same issue, could someone please explain what is happening here.
Thank you.

Change grey background color of acrobat reader application (not background color of page)

My new laptop has a very reflective screen. Especially dark background colors make me see the windows behind me (and people passing by). When using a white (lighter) background this problem does not occur.
When reading all day texts with acrobat reader, there is alot of "distraction" because outside the page there is a dark grey area with reflections and moving images. Maximizing the text to 400% so everything is white is not a comfortable option.
Is it possible to change this background somehow, preferrably to white, or light grey? If there is not a standard option, would it be possible to change some settings in the windows registry?

Unfortunately no, it's not possible. However, you can simply resize the window so that the underlying desktop color is visible...

Adobe Reader 2.0 for PocketPC power-saving issue

Hello,
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens LOOX720 device and noticed that device battery discharges relatively quickly when I read PDF documents with Adobe Reader (Windows Mobile 2003SE).
The trouble is that device runs at turbo processor speed all the time the Adobe Reader document is viewed (even when you switch to other applications and put Adobe Reader instance to background).
I set the processor speed settings of my device to Automatic Mode and the rest of applications work as expected - they do not consume much CPU power when they are idle and the CPU is automatically switched to power saving mode. This does not happen when Adobe Reader is viewing the document and the only solution is to set the CPU settings to Power Saving mode manually. This is very inconvenient because rendering of PDF documents is too slow in power saving mode.
I hope the description is clear and it will help to fix this problem in future versions of Adobe Reader.
Thank you!

>>> battery drain happens only when the device is powered on and there is running instance of Adobe Reader with opened document. <<
Actually, my experience is continued battery drain when powered OFF and there is running instance of Adobe Reader with opened document.
One possibility is that when the midnight calendar update occurs, an open instance of reader may keep the unit powered on.
On windows mobile devices, the power button is a "suspend" button and applications remain open, and while normally inactive, some programs continue to run and make power demands on the ppc.
>> report to adobe <<
It's been pretty obvious over the years that Adobe does not care about nor will invest any resources in the ppc reader to address any user issues.

How can i change the background color in the mobile windows adobe reader app? i want to change it from black to white but don't know how.

really want to change the background color of my documents in the mobile app. ive tried to search the answer online, in blogs and other various 'life hacks' blogs or articles, but so far everyone is talking about the desktop version. i really want to figure this out. is there even an option for the mobile version for windows? the only editing icons when a document is open are: export, home, make public, search in document, highlight/strikethrough/underline/comment and continuous/single view. if there isnt an option to edit background color, can i suggest that the makers of the windows mobile version make one, and make it fast please! any help would be appreciated. -CHANGE BACKGROUND COLOR

Adobe Reader 9 Colors in PDF print very light

Hello,
I am having an annoying problem with Adobe Reader 9. I have been printing PDFs from it, but the trouble is that the color accuracy is poor.
The colors on the printed page are much lighter than they should be. I have printed the same PDF from a different version of Adobe Reader, namely version 6. The printed colors are exactly as they should be.
This problem is not related to the different ICC color profiles used by the monitor and the printer since using an older version of Adobe Reader doesnt cause this problem. I have tried setting options such as Let printer determine colors, Print as Image and Discolored background correction. These options have reduced the problem but have made little difference. The difference in color is still very noticeable.
I have also tried printing out some color samples namely Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black blocks of color to test if any are at fault. The yellow comes out as green. This must be where the problem lies. All the other color samples are fine.
Are there any suggestions you could offer to fix or significantly reduce the difference in color? Using the very old Adobe Reader 6.0 is far from ideal.
Thanks in advance.

We have a similar issue with Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.x ver. The PDF onscreen colors are totally different than the hard copy. We have tried printing on different models of color printers and there is no issue with the printer drivers. The PDF files are generated from Primavera (P6) application.
Any Suggestions?
Thanx.

You can select 5 (or more images) and place them by dragging in Adobe InDesign. After creating document go to File > Place, navigate to images and select them. In InDesign start dragging and press right arrow key couple of times then release mouse button. You can export file as PDF, JPG, PNG image from File > Export.

Adobe reader, Ubuntu 12.04, problem with tab/font colors

I use Adobe Reader on Ubuntu Linux 12.04. The Reader was installed through Ubuntu repositories. The problem is that the background of inactive tabs has the same color as the text. Both the font and background use a dark grey color; see the attached image.
As you can see, the name of the file open in the inactive tab is not readable at all. Can anybody help with this? Ideally, I would like to change the color of either tabs, or fonts, to make the tabs readable. If that matters, I use Gnome Classic (without effects) desktop environment.

I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello Floridamacbookpro,
You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

Open PDF Attachment with Adobe Reader put GW to background

Hello all,
We have problems with opening pdf attachments from GroupWise client 12.02 with Adobe Reader 11.0.06. The attachment opens fine, but when opening the attachment, the mail and GroupWise client immediately are placed to the background in Windows. So when closing Adobe Reader, the user won't come back in the mail but in another application that was open and the user have to click on groupwise in the taskbar to go back to the mail.
There is no problem with opening other attachments from other applications (like Word or Excel) or when opening the pdf with Adobe Standard. It happens with every user.
They are working in a Citrix Xenapp 6.5 environment on Windows 2008R2 (it also happens if working in a RDS session)
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Jaap

Are you trying to say that all of the apps mentioned are running as
XENapps? If not please specify which are local vs remote.
What is the client OS being run as that may also factor in.
Worth trying another PDF reader such as FoxIT reader to better see
which side is driving that behaviour.
