Question

Viewing a White Only Image in Acrobat

Can anyone give me advice on how to view a white only image while viewing a pdf in acrobat?  When you click the check box in output preview that says simulate paper color, the image becomes visible for like half a second.  It would be awesome if I could get it to stay up there until I was finished viewing it.  Thanks in advance!

    Could you give some more details as to what you are trying to see/do, please?  The Simulate Paper Color option is generally used to mimic the color of white paper instead of the bright on-screen white we seen on monitors.  There would be a different white if you were actually using a white 'ink' versus the color of white paper.

    My  best,

    Sure thing.  So what it is, is white vector art with a transparent background, which when viewed in acrobat, my transparent background turned into white, which was the same white as the vector art.  I was actually able to solve the issue.  You go to edit PDF-then more-then background-then add-then choose a different color from source-from color.  This makes the image viewable in the add background window without actually having to add one.  Thanks for following up with me, appreciate it!

    You could also try the transparency grid in Acrobat's preferences.
