Question

Highlighted text displaying as the same color (should be multiple colors)

To give a quick background, I have a Python script that does some highlighting to a PDF document in various colors. I know the script works because I can view all the colors in the PDF on my mac in the Preview app. However, when I open the PDF in Acrobat in Windows all of the highlights are yellow. The strange part is that when I right click the highlight and go to properties, the color is correct. Is there some sort of setting to fix this?

There's probably something off with how Python sets the color. You would need to share a sample file for further help with this.
