Question

Acrobat replace text tool color

I am using Acrobat 24.1 and have been using it for approximately 6 months. I am on an iMac with the latest OS.

 

Suddenly the Add Note to Replace text (select text and right click) is using a red strikethrough and a red caret. Until now it has always been a blue strikethrough and a blue caret. See Screenshot.

 

I would like to revert to the blue because the red is easily confused with the Delete text tool (or simple Strikethrough tool).

 

I see that I can right click on the selected text and there is an option for "Properties", however when I select that the options to do anything (change color, the tabs, etc...) are greyed out and I can't change anything or navigate between the tabs. See screenshot.

 

I reverted to the previous version of Acrobat, using View>>Disable New Acrobat, and the Add Note to Replace Text is again blue. See Screenshot.

 

This seems like it is a problem with the latest update. Has anyone figured out how to set the Add Note to Replace Text tool to blue in the latest version.

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

 

Would you mind sharing the complete version of the OS and the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 24.02.2089x installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.
 
Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here (https://adobe.ly/3S0SRAp)
 
You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights or enable the root account in MAC (https://adobe.ly/3S4H3gp) and try using the application there and check.

 

If it still doesn't work please share the the Adobe CC logs (https://adobe.ly/3xVO50f) for further investigation.

This did not work. This is still a problem which causes a much slower workflow and creates many mistakes.

The above was a reply to Amal's suggestion to clear preferences.
