Black/Grey Background in Acrobat 9.0

Does anyone know how to change this to a less intrusive colour?
Or is this another arbitrary change from Adobe that can't be changed?
Thanks.

Finally! Someone else with this concern.
The dark gray background is awful.
It's possible to change the FULL SCREEN background in preferences but I cannot find a way to get rid of this gray. I hope someone can help.

Spotlight black/grey background on iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2

on my iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.0.2, when pulling down from any screen to reveal Spotlight search bar, the entire screen goes into black/grey color. No matter what I try it stays this way. Any ideas how to fix this? I don't have any accessibilities turned on except reduce noise when calling.

Hi wenyang steven,
If you are having issues with your iPhone showing a grey screen when you try to do a spotlight search, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Powerbook stuck at black apple on grey background...

Tonight I have witness a strange event with my Powerbook:
I started my Garageband programme and while this was happening suddenly a very high pitch sound took over from iTunes in the background. Also the computer seemed to freeze. I might have panicked a bit as the sound was painful. I switched off the computer by pressing the on/off button for about 6 sec.
When I tried to restart, the dark grey apple icon would on light grey background, the HD seems avtive and nothing happens for hours (I have tried 2-3 hrs). I have then switched it off again, and restarted in T-mode. The Firewire icon would appear on the screen, but the icon would not appear on the iMacG5 I have connected it with.
Unfortunately, there is a non bootable DVD stuck in the optical drive so I cannot try booting from it, as I do not get it to eject.
Not sure what to make of this!
Do you have any suggestions?

Bernd,
This is a question for those who know Macs really well, which is not I. Sometimes it's interesting & educational to all to guess, however.
Why didn't you turn down the speakers or pull their plug first? If you were using the computer's speakers, did you have the volume turned up all the way? When GarageBand starts, does it turn on the computer's microphone for input? You see where I'm going with this: could the screech be caused by feedback from the speakers to the microphone?
Also, there was a time (I think) when using Quicktime to handle two different applications that ran audio at different bitrates caused a whine. That was patched some revisions ago. Finally, two sound-producing applications that compete for the speakers can produce a whine as a (faulty) scheduler tries to run both by quickly alternating between the two.
I'm not sure the whine (which you can reproduce?) is related to your boot problems, however. They are more likely related to pressing the on button to shutdown. (I didn't know one could even do that: the PowerBook doesn't have an off button.) MacOSX needs to do many chores as it shutsdown: quit each application you were running (and a decision it can't make, such as whether to save changes you stored in memory or delete them will stop the shutdown), quit the OS's processes, and update the disk's information about the filesystem with changes held in memory. Then it writes a bit of information stating the machine was shutdown cleanly.
If you had held down a mouse or touchpad button when starting, the optical disc should have been ejected, and the computer should have booted Darwin from the hard disk; then, noting the clean-shutdown bit was unchecked, it would have performed a long test of your filesystem's integrity before starting up MacOSX normally.
The grey Apple appears while your computer is looking for the boot drive and reading the booting information off its disc. If it can't find an acceptable boot device, it stays at the Apple. If it is confused, it displays all those it found and asks which you want to boot from. It found two drives, neither in perfect shape for booting.
Why it didn't boot slowly from the hard disk would appear a mystery. It's possible that starting with the 'C' pressed saved in Open Firmware the location of the boot disk: the optical one. Disk Utility doesn't check whether a disk is bootable, so the 'clean shutdown bit' stayed unchecked.
I'm guessing that, with the optical disk removed, the computer showed a grey Apple, then a choice of bootable disks it found; and you chose the hard disk.
Important questions are still unanswered, of course. And, much of the above is guessing (to encourage an expert to correct my guesses and address the whine question definitively); but it gives you bits of information to read about yourself, if you're interested.

Grey Background of Arcobat program conflicts with Grey PDFs

I have a client who use a grey background & border on their ads. This grey background is almost exactly the same colour as the background colour of Adobe Acrobat Professional - so when I view pdf's I cannot see where the pdf page ends or starts as it merges with the background colour of the Adobe Acrobat Professional program.
In previous versions of Adobe Acrobat Professional the page had a black drop shadow and the program grey was lighter so this was not an issue.
Using:
Windows
CS3 - Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Thank you for providing the system info. At least we have some idea. Your GF either has Lion or Mountain Lion...version unknown.

How to print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns

How can we print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns? We are wasting a lot of ink printing out these forms and would like to have simply black ilnes to distinguish columns and black lettering, but no background colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not positive what you are printing from but I am thinking it is from the View Responses tab with a response row selected and then shown in "Detail View" and that the column of field names has a dark grey background...
To change the color of the column headers select the row of headers (do this by clicking on the first dark grey header field and then scroll to the last one and shift+click on the last one), then in the "Text" tools change the text color to Black and the Fill color to white:
(Selected the header cells)
Changed the text/font color to black and the fill color to white
Now you can see the detail view does not have the dark grey.
Thanks,
Josh

White text turning black/grey in Safari 3.1/3.2

I have a very odd problem I have not been able to find the answer to anywhere else. I have created a website that has white text on dark blue background. It looks fine in all other browsers except for Safari 3.1 and 3.2. All of the <p> tags have turned black/grey. I am completely stumped.

I haven't looked at your stylesheet, but lots of errors reported by the validator in your stylesheet that you may want to fix..
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww. black-cardinal.com%2F
Do not worry about the errors being reported for the spry stylesheet where it refers to the iframe - they always throw an error, it's the others you have to worry about.

Converting from Word 2013 to PDF - grey background appears

When converting my document from Word 2013 to pdf, it appears to be on a grey background. Now my images are "sticking" out instead of blending in.
How can I get the background to appear white, as it does on my screen.

Be sure that WORD gets patched too. Often these problems turn out to be OFFICE issues. You might try a sample print to paper to see the issue. Also, AA is at 8.1.6.
There have been several problems folks have had with WORD 2007. The updates help some, but it is almost as though MS put some hooks in WORD 2007 to cross up Acrobat in some cases. I have run PPT documents with earlier versions of WORD and Acrobat with no problem. WORD 2007 would produce a totally different result that was not expected. There are even differences in graphics that you put in a DOC file versus a DOCX file. The latter seems to be doing some strange things to graphics. I would tell you more, but I really try to stay away from WORD unless I need it for compatibility with others.

My mac book pro will not fully boot up. I have the grey background with the apple sign and the timer going round...but 20 minutes later still no desktop

You could try doing a hard shut down (holding the power button or yanking the battery) and then doing a safe boot by holding the shift key at startup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
Also, not sure if this applies in your case, but I've had that happen when there's a USB drive inserted either in the computer or a connected external keyboard. I did a hard shut down, removed the drive and it went through a normal start up.

On OS X Lion, suddenly i've lost my desktop and mission control gave me a grey background. My desktop is seen as a window hidden. How can I do ?

Grey background in converted text

I added some shadow to text to have it converted to an image (PNG).
This looks good at the iMac at home. At some PC, which also doesn't show the navigation bar, the text gets a grey background. Example:
http://www.hasselo.eu/photography/Books.html where the upper picture has real text and the lower picture contains converted text (PNG).
Something similar here: http://www.hasselo.eu/photography/Gallery-photo_course.html where the button "Gallery" at the top has a grey background.
I assume that not all viewers will be able to see this because some browsers show it well and others don't.
Is there something in iWeb that I can do to fix this?
Is this because it is PNG and some browsers have an issue with PNG.
Alternate solution is to type the text in a graphics program, save it as jpg and at this to iWeb so that iWeb does not have to convert to PNG.
Thanks for your help.

fixed this in a work around

Officejet 6500: All print jobs (except copies) come out with black smudged background. Fixes?

I have an Officejet 6500.: All print jobs (except copies) come out with dark black smudged background and the text is also smudged. Any suggestions? Thx

FYI, for Black not printing on OJ 6500 ...
If the printer is out of warranty it may be worth following the suggestion in this post re. soaking the Printhead. Note it's important to switch the printer off at the Power button rather than just plugging out at the wall (as otherwise the Printhead won't get capped properly and may dry out)
