Selected text highlight is too light

Question

I don't know why and how the blue cursor highlight on selected text became so light. Is there a way to make it darker?

In the pic, standard normal is highlighted while the rest isn't. You can see hwo light the cursor highlight is.

When I search for specific words, the same light highlight applies and I can't see where the words I'm looking for are at.

Problems with colors not showing up correctly are often caused by a color substituion done to increase readability - somethings it has the opposite effect if it's enabled by accident. Open up Acrobat's preferences, then go to "Accessibility" - at the top you should see a "Replace Colors" checkbox - is that checked? If so, uncheck it and try again.

Ok, I was having the issue where the highlight color was so light it was barely visible. I looked at what the others posted and it did not work for me, but I believe I figured it out.

1. Highlight a portion of text (even though it will be super light initially).

2. Right click the highlighted text.

3. Choose Properties.

4. Change the Opacity to how light or dark you want the highlight to appear (I found 50% to be good).

5. Check the box at the bottom that says "Make Properties Default".
