Replace color in acrobat 9

Hi, I am having printer problems and therefore want to replace black with blue in a pdf document (blue prints fine, black does not). Is there an easy way of doing this, e.g. a replace all "color1" with "color2" option?
I am using Acrobat pro extended 9.
Thanks!

You're doing the right-click on a page thumbnail in the Pages panel yes?
Be well...

Can't replace color in PSE 9

I am trying to replace one color with another in a photo in PSE 9. Following the instructions in the on-line help does not work. Here is what I do.
1) Select the eye dropper and click in the image to set the foreground color to the replacement color.
2) Right click on the brush tool and choose the color replacement tool. Set the options to Mode=Color, Limits=Discontiguous, Tolerance=25%, Anti-alias=On.
3) Left click on the color in the photo that I want to replace.
4) Hold down the left mouse button and drag over the area containing the color I want to replace. Nothing happens when I do this.
In the photos in the Replace Colors in an Image help topic it appears that at some point in the process the cursor should change to include an eye dropper. I assume this is the cursor I should see before I left click to select the color I wish to replace, however, at no time does the cursor ever contain an eye dropper.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

How are you trying to save? Works for me.

Replace Color - selected areas turn gray instead of desired sample color. HELP?!

Hi, I am using Photoshop CS3 and have a question regarding "replace color."
First...here are the steps I enacted prior to trying to use the 'replace color' function:
1. In RGB Mode - - Selected and filled a shape a color.
2. Ran the selected object through Alien Skin/Impact "Chrome" function.
3. Selected 'adjustments/desaturate.' Did this so that I could then go to Adjustments/color balance..... and then change the entire color of the object to a predominantly red chrome looking scheme.
4. After giving the object a 'chrome' appearance, I wanted to go into the 'white' hilite areas of the object and sample them - and then change them to a bright red color....this is where the 'REPLACE COLOR' function comes in.
5. So I use the color sample eye dropper within 'REPLACE COLOR' and select the white areas I want to change to red...as the 'selection color.'
6. Then, I click down in the lower color box (result color) and sample a color that I want to change the white hilite areas to...in this case, red.
7. This is where the problem occurs - - even though I chose a result color of red...the white areas turn to grayscale within my colored object...so just those areas are gray!!! What the heck??!!
So... how can I desaturate a selected object... then recolor it using 'Color Balance'.... and then replace colors and have the replaced colors actually be a color instead of a gray color?
My file is in RGB mode and everything else is in COLOR.... yet I cannot replace areas within this colored graphic with other colors...it just keeps putting gray tones into the object.
HELP??
Thanks.

Hi Curt - - this occurs even if I select a color within the same file... something about desaturating the file and then adding color back into it...I can't get it to replace color after that.

Replacement Program for Acrobat Pro 7

I have twice downloaded the replacement program for Acrobat Pro 7 but get an error message when I try to install it. The message asks me to verify that I have access to the directory. The only options are abort/retry/ignore, none of which allows me to proceed past a partial installation. Any suggestions?

You still need to log in as an administrator to install the software, unless there have been changes in Acrobat that I am not aware of. At one point, it had to be the actual Administrator account, not one with admin priv. I think that went away after that one version, but you should still have admin priv.
If you are trying to install AA7 (the one that allows separate activation process), you may still not be able to install it, particularly if you are talking about a 64-bit system. If it is 64-bits, then I have my doubts that AA7 will install at all, but you can try. If you succeed, with the installation, you will probably need to work on some workarounds to get things to operate. You may not get the Adobe PDF printer for instance. There are several things that you might be able to do for fixes in a sense on Win7, 32-bit. I have my doubts that they work on WIn7, 64-bit (I have not tried).
If you are indeed trying to install AA XI, then you can ignore my comments. Maybe I need to try on one of my 64-bit systems at work to see what I can get away with.

How can I create a black and white image similar to what I see in the "Replace Color" tool?

Hi all, I'm just wondering how I can create a black and white image similar to what I see in the preview window of the "Replace Color" tool. See attached screenshot for clarification -- I need the grass to be black while the soil is white or vice versa. Any tips?

One way is to use Select>Color Range
Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
(Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
Put a new color fill layer below>black
Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

Replace Color(s)

I couldn't figure out how to use the Replace Color function
in
Photoshop, so I checked out Fireworks and was pleased to see
it's user
friendly in the extreme. The only problem is it doesn't work!
First, I opened an image with a .png extension. (It only
works on .png
images, right?) Then I clicked Window > Find and Replace,
opening the
little dialog box. The settings are "Search Document," "Find
Color" and
"Fills & Strokes."
There are two colored squares - Find: and Change to:. I used
the
eyedropper to set the color of Find to the color I want to
replace (a
light gray). Then I clicked Change to and set it at yellow.
Then I click
"Replace All," but nothing happens.
This is the first time I've used Fireworks, by the way. I've
owned
Studio MX for a long time but never got around to playing
with Fireworks
because I already had Photoshop. Thanks.

The Replace Color tool works as Linda describes, and can be
used on
pngs, gifs, jpegs, etc. I do not think FW MX had the actual
tool
(although it's been a long time since I used MX so I could be
wrong).
I've never found it to work all that well or predictably
especially with
grey, but that could just be me.
However, what you described was the Find and Replace Color
panel. This
panel no longer exists in later versions such as FW8 and
probably MX
2004. Its functionality was built into the main Find and
Replace dialog box.
At any rate, this feature only works for vectors, fonts and
paths.
Sampling a color from a flattened bitmap (PNG or otherwise)
will have no
effect on the image.

Replace color and hue/saturation?

Is there any real difference with using hue/saturation and replace color to change the color of an item OR is it just two ways to do the same thing?

If you did a hue/saturation change then both the blue and yellow would change according to the sliders that you use.
That would apply if you edit the Hue/Saturation’s Master (alt-2), but if the Colors are sufficiently different one could influence only the Reds (alt-3), Yellows {alt-4) etc.
And that’s naturally best done with an Adjustment Layer.

Desaturated colors in Acrobat XI vs OK Colors in Acrobat 9

When I create a PDF in Indesign CC and view it in Acrobat 9 the colors look exactly like in the Indesign document. When I open the PDF in Acrobat XI (11.0.04) they look desaturated and dull. How is it going to look if I send it to the printer, like in 9 (then I won't worry and simply use that version) or like in XI (then please tell me how I can get my colors right in the PDF). I am using an Eizo Wide Gamut screen (CG241W) on a Mac with the latest version of OS Mavericks.

I've just discovered the same issue on my computer (MacMini 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, MacOs 10.9.5, Eizo display via HDMI, and freshly updated Acrobat XI from Creative Cloud). Colors in Acrobat look different than in InDesign and Photoshop, though I checked carefully the right profile in "Output preview".
I usually use Acrobat for preflighting prepress files, and the accurate color wasn't crucial so far, but recently it turned out that calibration software from Eizo uses Acrobat's "Output preview" for validating of the calibrating. The other option would be using Photoshop (it worked fine with Photoshop CS2 on my former PowerPC machine) but for an obscure reason it crashes every time Eizo's ColorNavigator tries to switch to Photoshop CC. The validation process goes smoothly with Acrobat, but since it displays wrong colors the validation result is distorted.
All in all there are two issues: inaccurate colors displayed in Acrobat and some incompatibility between Photoshop CC and ColorNavigator (of course, I intend to write to Eizo too). Fixing at least one of them would make me more than happy.

Replace Color Command Saturation Algorithm

For the Replace Color Command (not the Replace Color Tool), the meaning of the Saturation slider is clear only when the slider value is negative (reducing saturation). In that case the slider reading is the percent by which the (H-L) gap is to be reduced, where H and L are the highest and lowest RGB channel values. A reading of -100 means the gap is to be completely closed. Whatever the percentage closure, it is effected by decreasing H and increasing L in equal increments proportional to the slider setting.
When the saturation slider is set to a positive number (increasing saturation), however, the meaning is not easily unearthed. The incremental changes in H and L, although still equal and opposite in algebraic sign, are now a non-linear function of the slider and the initial H and L values, but I have not been able to nail it.
BTW, The middle RGB channel plays no role in either case. With H and L set, it is adjusted to keep hue constant.
Any help out there? Gernot? Anybody?

Bump---with apologies. First time ever (honest). Apart from staving off the post's oblivion, I want to verify just where in the ladder a bump jumps.

May a user change the paste board (background) color in acrobat 9

I have a customer supplied file with a screen the exact same color as the background or pasteboard color in acrobat 9. So I cannot see the edge, I cannot see if there is bleed etc... This color is much darker than the gray background in acrobat 7 which I have bee using.
I find this background much to dark for my use and I would like to change it to a lighter gray as the paste board in 7.
Where is this preference?

I don't believe there is any way of changing the pasteboard (background) color in any version of Acrobat.
However, there are a couple of Page Display settings which may help:
Check "Always show document page size" to show the size of the document (trim size).
Check "Art, trim & bleed boxes" to show these features. You can open the the Crop Page dialog to show the size of any of these boxes.

REPLACE COLOR only allows graytones for replacement color

Hello,
I am trying to use the REPLACE COLOR command to change a white sky to a blue sky. I am running Photoshop CS on Windows XP system. Photoshop provides two descriptions on how to use the REPLACE COLOR command and I have tried both. Howwever, for either one, when I attempt to set the color that will be used to replace the original color, the color picker always "previews" and uses a graytone rendition, not the tone I actually attempt to set. When I wag the mouse over the entire color picker swatch, the preview alway renders a graytone. If I instead type in a known 6-hex digit color identifier I still get a graytone rendition, not the actual
color.
I am trying to change the color for only a portion of the image, so I'm using the rectangular marquee to selection the portion I want to change.
For completeness, here is a list of steps I'm performing-
1)In the Layers palette, select the layer containing the color you want to replace.
2)Use the rectangular marquee to select only a specific area in the image you wish to change.
3)Choose Image > Adjustments > Replace Color.
4)In the Replace Color dialog box, make sure Selection is selected under the preview window.
4)In the image, click the color you want to change.
5)Double-click the Result swatch and use the Color Picker to select the replacement color and click OK.
Any clues what I'm doing wrong or what I may hav set wrong?
Thanks,
Ron Glos

Replace color will not work for white or black, as there is no color. There was a post about a month ago with similar topic, with some solutions. Sorry can't remember how to get there, try search with this in mind.

How do I make replace color work?

I load up an image wherein I want to change an area of #111518 to #151A1D.
I know how to set up foreground and background colors in the two overlapping squares in the line of tools.
I know how to choose adjustments and how to choose replacement color.
I know how to get the color picker.
I do not understand what "localized color clusters" mean.
I do not understand what "load" means.
I do not understand what "dropper+" and "dropper- mean".
I do not understand what "fuzziness" means.
I do not understand what "preview" means.
PLEASE HELP!

Good day!
In my opinion ”Replace Color" is useless for professional work.
As for the terms you claim not to understand you might refer to the Help:

HP PSC 1600 All-In-One error message remove and replace color cartridge

I get the remove and replace color cartridge and printer or scanner won't work. I have replaced the cartridge with new ones twice and it still happens. Just installed a new HP color cartridge and no luck. I've tried everything I can think of.
Please, does anyone have any other suggestions????
Thank you,

Hi MJKEL,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with errors on the printer pertaining the ink cartridges.
I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a documet that deals with A 'Remove and Check [color / black / photo] Cartridge' Error Message Displays on the Printer Control...
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.
Cheers,
Click the “Kudos Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post to say “Thanks” for helping!
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
