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.
Exact same issue for a couple of my end users that applied the latest update sometime yesterday.
Any PDF with OCR will display a yellow background on Acrobat Pro, but not on any other PDF reader. Printing the document proves the change is a matter of display since the printed copy has the correct white background.
This isn't happening with PDFs with static images on them, like scanned papers that haven't been processed to look for text and images.
We run a repair and even fully uninstalled Acrobat DC and reinstalled it (with restarts in between all those steps) and the issue persists. Nothing workflow breaking since we have the accessibility workaround, but Adobe might want to make sure they address the issue on the next update.
I am seeing the same issue after repairing and uninstall/reinstall. It makes my work fairly difficult as I have to match colors and such from PDF docs to designs. Some type of quick solution would be really nice.
That only fixes parts of a PDF and does a terrible job of replacing colors around smaller shapes and letter. Embedded JPGs and other images in the PDF (with their own white background) still keep the yellow background making it look really even worse with patchy yellow squares all over sheets with multiple imbeded images.
Select ‘Accessibility’ Check ‘Replace Document Colors’ Select ‘Use Windows Color Scheme’
The above option only fixes some of the simpler documents from my end created from Word documents.
The more complex PDF documents with graphics, logos, colored fonts will still retain that weird yellow background.
Adobe needs to elevate this to the top as a priority to resolve. It's not working for many Acrobat users. This is not the solution!
Check out my attached PDF for example. Using the accessibilty option makes the document even worse if you can believe it. Try to fix it yourself on your end using the accessibilty option and see what I'm talking about.
That solution only works for documents without any graphics. In this case, adobe should fix the problem quick and should not remark this problem as solved. It is not solved at all!
Only works on some documents. About half the documents I opened in the past week had normal (white) backgrounds. The rest were colored yellow. This fix is not a fix. Adobe has to fix this... and judging from comments on the board, they aren't making any concerted effort to fix it. See screenshots below for example.
We are having this same issue. It started after a recent Adobe upgrade. We are seeing the problem in both Acrobat and Photoshop, which makes it very difficult to do color corrections. What the heck is going on and how do you fix this? I have tried every suggestion on this page.
In my case, it helped to set the color profile (Control Panel > Color Management) back to the system default. Something had changed there (for unknown reason).
I wanted to send a screenshot with the windows features, when I go to photoshop to delete the id I noticed that I also see the background a little yellow, but in this case it is not like the PDF, when I save the jpg and open it with gip I see the white background.
The so-called solution doesn't work on many documents. Still comes up yellow. Adobe shouldn't consider this issue resolved, but should be working on debugging the software so it doesn't produce yellow background documents. Other PDF readers (e.g. Nuance) don't have this isue.
