All pdfs created have yellow backgrounds

Every pdf I create - from a Word document or create blank page - has a yellow background. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it hasn't fixed it. Version 2021.007.20091.

When opened in another program, they are normal white, so the problem is viewing/display.

Please use normal white

Same issue here with

• 2021.007.20099 (.61763),
• AGM 4.030.00111,
• CoolType 5.017.00005,
• Base 21.1792,
• JP2K 2.000.00002.49666

Looks like it's a "color problem". No problems with bw or grayscale scans, only color scans show the phenomenon. Also plain text documents are displayed with yellow background. The workaround via the adjusted color display does not work when color graphics are involved...

I would appreciate a more direct and complete answer from Adobe regarding this problem. It clearly exists. Outside of this forum, I have spoken with dozens of other users who are experiencing the same problem we are here. While the workaround suggested by JJ3ANS does allow for white backgrounds in basic text documents that have been converted to PDFs, backgrounds remain yellow for any graphics on the page. It is baffling to me that Adobe has not been able to quickly replicate, troubleshoot and offer a fix for this issue. This is a major flaw and it should be treated as such.

I just fixed it as well, after I tried many different ideas!

(1) re calibrate the screen "Bildschirmfarbe kalibrieren"

(2) then I changed the settings (4. Chapter) Seitenanzeige - Render: for the screen, and RGB-Schema (Arbeitsfarbraum)

(3) then I changed the settings (13. Chapter) Farbmanagement (Color-Management) into; RGB: Monitor Profile, CMYK: Photoshop 5 Default and Mechanism: Microsoft ICM

We are having this issue as well on a few of our employees workstations.  Setting:‘Preferences’ Select ‘Accessibility’ Check ‘Replace Document Colors’ Select ‘Use Windows Color Scheme’. seems to kind of hide the issue.  Printing these documents are retainging yellow as a background.  I have opened the same pdfs in Chrome and they look and print fine.  This yellow background is showing up on pdfs that i open in Acrobat DC but not in any other pdr reader.  Sure hope Adobe finds out what is the issue and quickly repair it.  I begining to think we should find a different solution that is less expensive, but just works correctly.

I've had this same problem...  I changed to Windows Color Scheme but now all images still have the yellow background.  Bad update last month?

The answer below worked!!! THANK YOU. This was so annoying!
