All pdfs created have yellow backgrounds

Every pdf I create - from a Word document or create blank page - has a yellow background. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it hasn't fixed it. Version 2021.007.20091.

When opened in another program, they are normal white, so the problem is viewing/display.

Hi 

Thank you for reaching out and sorry for the trouble.

 

We are unable to reproduce this issue at our end.

Kindly Share the machine details i.e the OS version, configuration, etc. for investigating this issue.

It would be helpful if you can share the sample PDF files as well.

 

Regards,

Sweta Karn


This has worked to fix the issue:

‘Preferences’
Select ‘Accessibility’
Check ‘Replace Document Colors’
Select ‘Use Windows Color Scheme’

I did try the method mentioned in the email, and it is useless since the problem is not cause by color management settings. The problem is inherent to Adobe Acrobat. The fact that Adobe has not been able to determine a resolution is actually an embarrassment!

On the same monitor, viewing a PDF in Chrome shows no yellowish background and viewing the same PDF in Acrobat shows a yellowish background. This all stemmed from a former setting for eye-strain relief.

On another note, I very much dislike the newer tab and menu display where the tabs are on the top level akin to browser windows. This makes the display look third-worldish.

I cannot reproduce this. Please all update to Windows 11, you all are probably on some old Windows 10, it has all kinds of bugs in color management.

Stop recommending the change of color profile, there is a bug in Adobe acrobat that it does not use color profile in colorcpl.exe

Hi,

If you are using dual displays, please try the below steps

 

From Windows Control Panel open Color Managment.
Select the affected display (if you have multiple affected displays you will need to repeat the following steps for each one).
Check the box "Use my settings for this device"
Select any existing profiles associated with this device and Remove them.
Click Add and choose the ICC Profile called sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Click OK and then Close.

Now try to open the PDF

I not sure if this is helpful, but I recall some years ago that Adobe Reader had an option for reducing eye strain by making document backgrounds non-white.  At that time, I turned on this option and this yellowish "feature" has been there ever since.  I can no longer find this option anywhere in the preferences so I can't turn it off.  I'm hoping this information can provide some insight to Adobe to repair this issue.

Hi default6z4ao2gpz399,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

Please let us know if the issue occurs with particular files or with all.

Did you notice this behavior change recently? Also, confirm if you have created this PDF.

Would you mind sharing the PDF with us? 

Share the OS version on the machine.

 

Thanks,

Ich habe noch eine bessere Lösung gefunden, die dauerhaft für jede PDF funktioniert.
How To Fix Windows Photo Viewer Displaying Yellow Or Orange Tint
Dadurch konnte ich den Fehler beheben, da er nicht nur in Adobe aufgetreten ist, sondern auch in der Dateivorschau im Windows-Explorer.

It's still shocking (and disappointing) that this is still an issue!

Really!!! I gave up dealing with this issue late last year, just hoping there would be a magical morning I would come in to work and the yellow background would be gone........ and here we are. NO FIX FROM ADOBE???? Truly unbelievable!
