Flattening annotations (comments) changes highlight color in Acrobat, but not Reader

I have a pdf document with multiple comments consisting of sentences highlighted with different colors. The colors are the default, bright colors in the default commenting "Highlighter Tool Properties" palette. When I flatten with either Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 or X (Tools - Print Production - Preflight - flatten annotations and form fields) the colors of the highlights change from the normal 'bright' colors to dull 'pantone'-like colors. Interestingly, if I view the flattened file with Reader, the colors are fine (back to the bright colors), but when viewing with Acrobat Pro they are the dull pantone colors. It is as if there is a 'flag' in the file telling Acrobat (but not Reader) to change the displayed highlight colors.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.5
Does anyone know how I might change this so that the highlight colors do not change when flattening?
Thanks

Well, I was able to answer my own question. You have to go into "Flattener Preview" and change "Color Space" from the default "none" to something else, in my case, "Device RGB". Also, make sure to set page range.

Change default opening to Acrobat and not Reader

How to do? I have opened several pdfs via right click, Open as Acrobat Professional. It doesn't default to that preference. When I double click on a pdf, it always opens in Reader.

Disable Reader in the task list (it tends to run in the background and capture the PDF. Also, right click on the file and select open with - chosing Acrobat. If that does not fix the problem, you will have to go back into Explorer and fix the file associations.

Email Submit button works in Acrobat but not Reader

I have a form with an email submit button. When those who have Adobe Reader click on the Submit button, nothing happens. For the users with Acrobat, the submit button works as designed. The users all have the latest version of Reader, Java and Flash. When the Acrobat users click the button a box appears asking them to select Desktop or Internet email. Once they make a selection, the form is sent. When the Reader users click the button nothing happens. I'm sure there must be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust. Can you help me?

Hi Susan,
I appreciate we have meandered through this, but bear with us...
Here is a screen shot of a regular button set up to return the completed form as a PDF.
Now if you deploy this form WITHOUT Reader Enabling the form, then users with Reader will see this warning:
However before you deploy the form open it in Acrobat and go to the Advanced menu (in version 9) and select "Extend features in Acrobat Reader" and save the form with an amended name. Then send this new "Reader extended" form out to the users with Reader and they will be able to return the completed PDF.
Without seeing the actual form it is difficult to work out how the submit button is set up.
Hope that helps,
Niall

InitState works in Acrobat but not Reader

Hi I am new here and not very good with javascript, so please bare with me.
I have created a document with five radio buttons that toggle between layers via executing OCG .state and .initState scripts depending on which button is selected. Both work fine in Acrobat in setting the current state and the default state of the layers. But when I open the document in Reader, only .state seems to toggle between layer visibility and .initState fails to set the default state of layers. Essentially what I need is to be able to set the default state to layers in Reader. I noticed that the Layer Properties panal is not editable in reader and that this may be the culprit, but I can not find how to activate it or to even enable manualy setting the default state of layers to on or off.
In addition to the FindOCG script at the document level here are samples of what I have set as mouse up actions to the radio buttons.
FindOCG("LayerName).state = true;
FindOCG("LayerName").initState = true;
Each of these is its own action.
I am using Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 and Reader 11.0.3 on Windows 7 Ultimate.
Any help with this would be greatly apriciated.
Thanks
Jesse

I have a project to create editable business cards to be distributed through our franchise system. We have several designs and combinations of double sided business cards. In short my goal was to be able to toggle between combinations of front and back designs (1st and 2nd pages) in the form of different layers for double sided business cards. It seemed doable at first and is functioning just fine in Acrobat. I thought it would be nice to distribute one PDF rather than several, which is what our franchisees like. The PDFs have form fields for all the variable information. I can toggle between form and design layouts, but the design layouts do not hold after saving and re-opening in Reader because in adition to toggling the layer visibility I have to set the default open state of the visible layers to on so that when the PDF is re-openend, say at a press to be printed, the correct layers are displayed and printed without the press having to make any edits. The .initState simply is not effecting the default states in Reader. As for runtime code, I don't know what that is. I don't know much about coding, I figured out just enough to get this far.

Tab Order works in Acrobat, but not Reader?

Using LiveCycle 8.0, I set the tab order in this fiscal chart so the order would flow in the direction of the arrows depicted in the chart below. Saved the LiveCycle doc; then I opened it in AcrobatPro 8.0 and enabled Reader usage rights. Saved file. It tested fine and tabbed in the order that I wanted. However......see second screen shot:
When I tested the form in Reader 9.0, the tab order is not in the sequence that I set it up in LiveCycle. Now it tabs horizontally, then down to the next row. I need it to tab each column vertically (See screen shot above). Did I miss a step somewhere?
Click here for the form.

I cannot duplicate your issue .....I tried it with version 9 or Acrobat and version 8 of Reader and it behaved as you set it

Change highlight color in pages

Hey guys and gals,
Would anyone happen to know whether changing highlight color in Pages is possible, and if so - how?
I searched all over and found no satifsying answers.
Thank in advance!
Eran

It looks like the Highlight (background) color can only be yellow.
The best work around I can find is to change the text color itself which may work like a highlight of the text (like red, green or blue) which makes it stand out. Maybe that will help?
Format Inspector (the brush) > Style > Touch the Size and Font item > Color > swipe to see options.
Note even there you can't go beyond predefined colors but you can make text stand out.

Changing Highlight Color Behind Theme Button

Hello -
I've scoured this message board and saw similar postings, but none that answered my question on how to change the highlight color behind the theme button. I put together a DVD w/button themes that play the videos inside, and when my friend goes to click on the buttons, in order to play that chapter, he sees the 'white highlight' that represents which button he is selecting. He has asked me if I can change that highlight color - is this something I can do in iDVD5? Thanks!!

Happy editing!

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

Are you using FCPX? It doesn't have a canvas. Do you really mean one frame, like 1/30th of a second? Add a custom generator underneath the logo. Make it whatever color you want. Make it however short you want.

How to print off Web to Acrobat and not Reader?

Hello,
I have Adobe Acrobat Standard X (10.1.8) and Adobe Reader 9.5.5 installed on my PC (Vista Home Premium x64).
When I go to print a page off the Web to PDF, the resulting document currently gets displayed in Reader rather than Acrobat. I would prefer that the new document show up in Acrobat instead, so that I can delete any unnecessary pages (article comments, ads, etc.).
Is there any way to make it so that when a new PDF is created from the Web, the result shows up in Acrobat and not Reader? And if so, then how?
In case it makes a difference in how you answer-- I would like to keep Reader as the default when opening an existing PDF to read it.
Thank you.

There is really no good reason to have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same system since Acrobat does everything Reader does and much more.
For what it's worth, Dov, over here in Mac-land, I find it really really useful to have both Reader and Professional installed. I find the casual reading experience in Reader to be much more convenient, and I'm much less likely to inadvertantly alter a file I only wish to read. By default the toolbars consume less screen real estate, which I find useful. Also for workflow reasons, I can have 20 PDFs open in Reader and 1 or 2 open in Professional, and can more easily keep them straight. I am also under the impression that Reader is less resource-intensive in terms of memory footprint.
Oh, and, of course, I find it useful to use Reader 10 because of unresolved bizarre performance problems with Reader 11 (reported to Adobe and that got some stillborn developer attention), while still using Pro 11 for editing and other pro-type tasks.
(On the gripping hand, when I want to do something like OCR a page I am reading in Reader so I can copy-paste it elsewhere, it is annoying to have to then open it in Pro.)
This is basically the opposite of your advice .
I'm under the impression this is more viable on the Mac than Windows though? Or perhaps it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Why won't CSS changes save - Are Reflected Locally, but not there when uploaded.

I have recently re-installed Dreamweaver CC 2014.1.1. I am editing an existing site http://www.travelight.tv/test.html. CSS changes won't save (i.e ".righthalf" and and H3.) I finally replaced the class with a table for the sake of time. Still can't save and H3 changes. CSS Designer Panel correctly shows the H3 font and the hex color (ee5e33) - but the color palate shows black. The uploaded document reflects gray. The changes are reflected properly locally, but not when uploaded to server. The time/date stamp doesn't update, despite saving several times. What am I missing?

Sorry about that, I managed to get the test URL wrong. http://www.travelight.tv/test/index.html. I had to remove the righthalf class from the document, but the and <h3> tags are still having issues.As for the location, I am opening the one that is linked to the document from the bar at the top of the document - it is the only one named travelight.css. When I logged in this morning, I noticed that it is showing the icon as a Wordpad document even though the File Type shows it as a Cascading Style Sheet - I have tried saving it as an html file and have re-created it, but it remains a Wordpad document. Below is the a screen shot of the folder.

Unforunately you can't. Its like if you went to a video store there in Netherlands and bought a DVD then got it home and found out it was in Dutch and there is no other audio options. There is no way to magically dub the movie in English. Your iTunes and iPod settings only govern your menus and preference IF alternate options is available already coded into the file, but most movies downloaded from iTunes aren't going to have multiple language audio tracks. If you can't access the U.S. or British store and your kids don't speak Dutch yet, then you will just have to find some other way to get movies for them than iTunes.
The reason for this is legal reasons. In the United States I am only able to purchase videos authorized for sale in the United States. In Britain, you are only able to purchase videos authorized for sale in Britain. Same with Netherlands. Now, with DVDs you could get a regionless DVD player and order your DVDs from Britain or America to get English versions, but you can't do that with iTunes... No British address, no British store access. No British store access, no movies in English.
Sorry.
EDIT: OK I have what i HOPE is good news for you.. I double checked my movies and found out that they do in fact have two audio tracks! In my case, both are English, one being Stereo and one being Surround Stereo though SO, when you open the movie, you should see a little chat bubble on the right side of the little popup menu at the bottom of the screen when you move your mouse. Click that, and there MAY be more audio options there... If there isn't, then you really are out of luck.

You would call Apple Support, for which you would probably be charged for the support.
Note that just because those CDs work with your old computer doesn't mean that it's still not an issue with those CDs and the burner in your newer system. Some CD brands just don't work well with some optical drives. If you haven't tried a different brand, and if you're using CD-RW trying CD-R, I would suggest you give that a try just to eliminate that possibility.

Changing highlight color in spy menus

I'm trying to change the color of the spry menu when you highlight it. Where do I find that option?

When you say "highlight it" do you mean the change of color when you hover?
If you open up the .css file in Dreamweaver (SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css for instance) you will see that the code is well commented.
have a scan through the file and you should see the code explained. Look for the rules that relate to hover. Then you just find a HEX value for the color you want and add it. If you want to keep track of the changes you make, try commenting out the code that is there already and retyping it with your own rule.
If that's not much help try David Powers' tutorial: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/customize2.php

How to change the color of text but only when that text is highlighted

I am NOT asking how to change the highlight color OR how to change the text color generally, but rather, how to change the text color as it shows onscreen while it is highlighted. Here's where I'm going:
Text is ordinarily black (assume) such as when the Finder is open or when viewing a list of all emails in an inbox.
Let's say I change the highlight color systemwide, in prefs > appearance > highlight color, to a custom color ("other") of black (for example).
In certain programs (mail, billings, iBank, addressbook, even the Finder), when I highlight a line of something, (like when I one-click on an email or a file name just to select it but not open it), the line will highlight in black, but the text of that line will automatically change to white so it can be seen.
However, when I highlight actual text (click and drag or double click), such as when editing a document in Pages and selecting a word, line, paragraph, editing an email, etc., the highlight is black, and the text remains black also, which means it cannot be seen (black on black).
So, how do I change it so that when I highlight the actual text the text color changes to white, then when it is de-selected, it goes back to black.
I'm not afraid to do a little terminal/command line, but only if it’s a little. Hope this gives enough detail.
Thanks.

You can use span HTML tag.
For example, if your label is "Product Name", and you want it to appear in red, you can type this:
Product NameHope it helps.
