Color change in a .pdf file

I receive a PDF from a client that is black print and strokes. I need to change both to a blue color. I can change the type color, but not the strokes. Is there a way to change the color of the strokes (drawn to underline) without going back to the creator program? Thanks.
Also, can you indicate a spot color in Acrobat (I've been using an RGB blue)?

hey broseman,
This was a very old post but, I thought that I'd
let you know how I deal with this using Javascript.
Also, I thought that others in the forum may be interested.
I may be mistaken, but I think that you need to
add "scene" in front of your background.setColor(bg);
you could also run the script at the docuement level
by first accessing the 3D Annotation scene.
Here's some examples:
//3D Annotation Script sets background to a single color
//create a color object and make it red
var mBGColor = new Color(1,0,0);
//Call this function to assign the color to the 3D Annotation
function setCustomBGColor()
scene.background.setColor(mBGColor);
//3D Annotation Script sets background to a gradient fill
//create 2 color objects for a gradient background
var mBGColorTop = new Color(.25,.25,.25);
var mBGColorBottom = new Color(.75,.75,.75);
//Call this function to assign the gradient to the 3D Annotation
function setCustomBGGradient()
scene.background.setColor(mBGColorTop,mBGColorBottom);
To call these function at the document level:
g3D = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;
//single color fill function call
g3D.setCustomBGColor();
//gradient fill function call
g3D.setCustomBGGradient();
Hope this helps someone :)

  • How do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

    how do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

    Adobe Fill & Sign does not yet have a feature to rotate PDF pages but there are several websites that will rotate a PDF for free and then you can bring that PDF with correct orientation into Fill & Sign to fill out.  Any of the top hits when you google "rotate PDF free" will work.

  • Colors shift when a PDF file contains transparent image

    Hello,
    I tried to programatically set a soft mask to an image by using the Addobe PDF Library, in order to make part of the image transparent. The image color space is RGB. I used PDEImageSetSMask() funtcion for setting the mask. I also have a PDF file that was created in the same way but without the part of the code that sets the mask. Therefore this PDF contains the same image as not transparent.
    When I open two files in Adobe Reader 9.2.0 the colors are not the same. The colors in the file which contains the transparent image are a bit darker. The colors are different not only inside the image box, but in all page area. I also tried to open the same file in GSView and there was no such problem.
    Can I fix this by changing the Adobe reader preferences, or this is a problem in the code that genereates the PDF?
    If this is not the correct forum to ask this question, please direct me to the correct forum
    Thanks

    You need to set the transparency blending space of the page to RGB, since the default blending space is CMYK (hence the color shift).  You do this by adding a transparency group dictionary to the page's dictionary when creating the PDF.

  • How to preserve a background color, when generating a PDF file

    I am trying to create a PDF file from some application. Please note that the picture in this application has the black background. So I invoke a Print command and set a printer as "Adobe PDF". As a result, I have generated
     a brilliant PDF file of my picture, but on the WHITE background. When selecting the Adobe PDF printer, I have looked through all its settings ( in the Adobe PDF settings, I have found several tabs: General, Images, Fonts, Color, Advanced, PDF/X), none of them generated the original background color. 
    So how can a generate a PDF file, having the original background color (black, in my case) ?
    Oleg

    Now I feel that the background definition in the Adobe PDF printer and the background definition in the application the Adobe PDF printer is invoked from -- two different things. So I guess how can I define the black background in the Adobe PDF printer? I cannot find such settings.

  • How can I change an Adobe .pdf file to a .jpeg file?

    I have a .pdf file and the program I need to upload the file to only accepts .jpeg files.  Can I change the .pdf to a .jpeg?

    Not using Reader alone no.
    You could take a snapshot and paste it into an image application, you could open it in Photoshop and save as a .jpg or you could use save as .jpg from Acrobat.

  • Color changes when creating PDF in Acrobat X Standard

    I'm printing to PDF from Word 2010 by using Acrobat X Standard.  Here are the two issues:
    I have overlaid two text boxes (different colors) on top of each other.  The overall image should be blue on top and bottom with tan in the middle.  When I print to PDF in Word, the PDF is perfect; however, when I print to the printer, the blue on the bottom changes to purple, while the blue on top is correct.  Again, this is the same blue text box, so I don't know why the color changes.
    Also, the tan is a darker shade than what the PDF shows.
    Is this a printer issue or PDF settings issue?
    I'm new to using Acrobat, so any step-by-step help is very much appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Create Adobe PDF is a (by default) a LOSSLESS operation where Acrobat processes the Word graphics data directly into PDF.   Printing is a LOSSY operation that first has Word convert Word->”printer spool”, then the printer driver (Adobe PDF) converts that “printer spool” into Postscript, and then Distiller converts the Postscript into PDF.   As you might imagine, you get MUCH higher quality and fidelity results from the former.
    Have you verified that you are using the same color management settings in the printer from both Word and Acrobat?  Is the Konica configured for Postscript, PCL, other?  There are SO MANY possible options that could be impacting your configuration…

  • How to change numbers of PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended #9

    I just combined 3 PDF files that had their own numbering into one. I have searched how to change this file into a consecutive numbering with no success. I do the steps outlined to open the Number options, but when filling in the blanks, and making choices, nothing changes on the pages ... just in the thumbnail section.
    HELP!

    Post your question in a forum for Acrobat. Adobe Reader can't change page numbers.

  • Why do changes to a .pdf file not show up in iBooks?

    I have a number of important and useful documents in .pdf format that are stored in iBooks on my iPad.  I added a new document to the iTunes library and then synced the iPad.  Voila!  The new document showed up in the PDFs section of the iBooks collections.  Then, I recognized that I needed to update some information in the document, so I opened the original (on my Mac) in Adobe Acrobat and added a few comments using the Typewriter tool.  I then reimported it to the library in iTunes, then synced the iPad again.  My added material was not in the document as it appeared in iBooks.  OK, I deleted it from iTunes, synced the iPad again and the file was gone from iBooks, as I intended.  I then reimported the new file with the added material into the iTunes library and synced again.  The file still did not show my added material.  I can look at the file in iTunes, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, even Preview and the file looks fine.  I even changed the file name.  The only place it does not look right is in iBooks.  I can print it in any of the aforementioned applications and it looks fine.  I suppose I could print it, scan it and then import it to iTunes yet again, but that seems to be kind of a stupid workaround.
    I have done everything I can possibly think of.  I have deleted the file from iBooks on the iPad, then deleted the file from iTunes, restarted, burrowed into the iTunes Library file (Users->myname->Music->iTunes->iTunes Music->Books->filename) and deleted the file directly from there and then emptied the Trash, restarted the iPad after deleting the file from iBooks, tried adding the information as a text box in Acrobat (instead of using the Typewriter), I've shaken my fist repeatedly, burned some white sage, even considered throwing my iPad across the room.
    In desperation, I finally printed and scanned the page I needed, then opened the original file in Acrobat, added the new page and deleted the old one.  Then, I reimported the file into iTunes and synced the iPad.  Now I have what I need with the same file name as before.  It's actually the same file, just modified by swapping pages.  But, why in the **** can I not just add what I want to that particular page using Acrobat and then reimport that?
    I am not a newbie.  I still have my old Mac Plus out in the garage.  I use Acrobat, Photoshop, Bridge and InDesign on a regular basis, so I am no stranger to Adobe products.  Am I missing something?  Something unbelievably simple?
    (OK, deep, cleansing yoga breath...)
    Even though I found a workaround, I'd still like to know why I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

    Thanks, Demo, I'll give that a shot. On the other hand, I really don't want to have some files in iBooks and other ones in Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader will let me organize them in folders, it might be a great solution.
    However, there's no ".pdf management" involved here. It's simply "Read the #%€\#^% .pdf file I gave you" and there is nothing to "manage". Whatever opinions Apple has about Adobe, .pdf is a fact of life and should not require any handstands and backsprings just to read a file. (Are you listening, Apple?) I refinanced my home with .pdf files; print it, sign it, scan it, e-mail it back. (OK, calm down, it'll be all right... Sigh...)
    Whatever the result, I'll report back.
    Thanks again.

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • The pdf font quality changes if another pdf file is open, for pdfs generated by Latex Beamer

    Hi There,
    I create pdf presentation files using Latex Beamer. I see a strange behavior when I open the file with Adobe reader to read it. If another pdf file is already open, the quality of the font is good but the shadow of the boxes disappears. If no other pdf file is open, the shadow box is good but the font has a low quality.
    Does anyone know about this problem?
    Thanks
    Kaveh

    Kaveh,
    I am having a similar issue with PDFs i create from Photoshop and added links in Acrobat.  The quality of the text was changing on me and I hadnt realized it was when I had more than one PDF open.
    Please let em know if you come to any resolution on this.
    Thanks,

  • How do I reopen and change an existing pdf file

    I have pdf files in acrobat.com
    I want to make changes to an existing file.
    Can you do this or do you have to rewrite the whole file?

    Hi donk58183198,
    You can edit files that you've stored in your Acrobat.com online account, but you need to download them first. Log on to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files and select the file that you want to download, then click Download at the top of the file list.
    Your file will download to the Downloads folder on your computer. To edit a PDF file, you'll need to use Acrobat (not Reader). You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,

  • Adobe Acrobat wipes the Finder label color of edited-saved PDF files

    Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1 wipes the Finder label color of PDF files when edited with Acrobat. For instance, if a PDF file has a particular Finder label color, if then it is open and edited or simply modify in any way (for instance, just marking some text with the yellow fluorescent marker) and saved, Acrobat wipes out the Finder label color of such file.
    How to send feedback to Adobe about this problem?

  • Ibooks changes name of pdf file

    When I open a pdf file in ibooks it sometimes changes the name to a bunch of characters nothing like the name of the pdf file. how do I fix this? 

    Hi,
    Saving the PDF to a set name is considered a security concern by Adobe. In order to achieve it you would need a trusted function, inside a JavaScript file. This .js file would be in a set folder on EVERYONE'S computer. This makes it difficult to deploy and maintain.
