All pdfs created have yellow backgrounds

[JJ3ANS]

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.

I just fixed it as well, after I tried many different ideas!

(1) re calibrate the screen "Bildschirmfarbe kalibrieren"

(2) then I changed the settings (4. Chapter) Seitenanzeige - Render: for the screen, and RGB-Schema (Arbeitsfarbraum)

(3) then I changed the settings (13. Chapter) Farbmanagement (Color-Management) into; RGB: Monitor Profile, CMYK: Photoshop 5 Default and Mechanism: Microsoft ICM

Have you ever printed this pdf?

I would appreciate a more direct and complete answer from Adobe regarding this problem. It clearly exists. Outside of this forum, I have spoken with dozens of other users who are experiencing the same problem we are here. While the workaround suggested by JJ3ANS does allow for white backgrounds in basic text documents that have been converted to PDFs, backgrounds remain yellow for any graphics on the page. It is baffling to me that Adobe has not been able to quickly replicate, troubleshoot and offer a fix for this issue. This is a major flaw and it should be treated as such.

Agreed - this has been an issue for way too long!

Good luck with that - Adobe seem to be very good a taking your money but not so good when it comes to offering support and fixes for what are clearly issues with their software. This thread has been going on for weeks and there is clearly a major issue, and how Adobe of all people can't replicate it when it's so commmonplace is at best a mystery. Maybe they're just hoping it'll go away?

Same issue here with

• 2021.007.20099 (.61763),
• AGM 4.030.00111,
• CoolType 5.017.00005,
• Base 21.1792,
• JP2K 2.000.00002.49666

Looks like it's a "color problem". No problems with bw or grayscale scans, only color scans show the phenomenon. Also plain text documents are displayed with yellow background. The workaround via the adjusted color display does not work when color graphics are involved...

This worked for me:

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.

Thanks, Timon24103373ptsu!

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

My best,

Dave

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!

[Kelsee25643541j18r]

NONE OF THE "FIXES" ARE WORKING!!!! Come on Adobe!

[benjamine786637]

True. Dont know what to do.

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,

Meenakshi

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.
