Highlighted text printing as redacted in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

I create Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 PDF documents to be sent to a Board of Directors and sometimes highlight text for their attention. Recently, when printed by Directors, yellow highlighted text has printed as black redacted, even though it shows as being highlighted when I open it in Adobe Reader DC and print it from my computer. I wonder if it is a setting in Adobe Reader DC. Could someone help me with this?

Are they printing it to a black&white printer?

Yes, but the highlighted area would normally print as slightly gray and you can read the text through that section.

Thank you. I now understand, also, that the yellow highlighted area was showing on the iPad and iPhone as black. Yet on the PC monitor it was sent from, it showed as having been highlighted.

What color is the highlight? Yellow sometimes prints as black.

Let me move this to the Acrobat forum for you, where you are more likely to receive an answer to your question. You might want to include information on what program is being used to create the PDF.
