Adobe Bug with Google PDFs

[DannyKetchum]

Hi

I noticed that there is a bug with Adobe not being able to read Google Docs properly. I first tried combining 2 pdf files, one of them was from Google Drive. I noticed that Adobe doesn't read the Google pdf correctly. The background is all black and the text is green. 

I do not believe that this is a user error but an actual problem with the Adobe product. I used an alternative app and got a better result.

Acrobat is the standard in both reading and writing correct PDF Format. It's highly likely that the Google product is creating bad PDFs.  In fact there are so many 3rd party PDF generators that produce badly formatted PDFs that in versions past Acrobat had very loose standards. But, somewhere around Acrobat X they tightened it up in the hopes that some of the 3rd party products would clean up thier act. 

It is also very likely that not all PDF generated by the Google product are bad, but some specific document feature is causing the issue.  

Can you post one of these PDFs so we can see whats going on?

Yes there was an assignment that I had to for a class and I don't a license for MS Word which costs a fortune for most people living on a budget. Most of my classes require me to combine pdf files and Google doc is free and used by anyone who can't afford the Microsoft product. The file "Bode Plot.pdf" is the original Google doc and example.pdf is what the Adobe DC app sees.

I can't see any difference between the 2 files.

Oh nevermind sorry I think it was a user error! But when you see it in the Adobe DC reader its all black and green. I guess the final pdf product doesn't have the black/green formatting issue.

This is what it looks like on my end
