Participant ,
Apr 18, 2025 Apr 18, 2025

When in inDesign, a file with a coloured background frame, I export to a Acrobat pro (interactive), the coloured background does not show in Acrobat pro. But when I send it a recieving they see the coloured background in the file. Wat is wrong?

Check your preferences. If you have Replace Document Colors under the Accessibility section, selected, turn it off.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

I'm assuming that the recieving party is getting the PDF, not the InDesign file.

Can you look at the PDF on another monitor? It could the the settings on your monitor.

Thank you. It happened suddenly sice last week and not all the time. Only with a one-coloured surfaceframe background.
No problem on different screens.
Met vriendelijke groet

If it looks ok on different screens, then it's a problem with the monitor or its settings. Have you calibrated the monitor? Have you tried a different cable?

Hello These are screenshots of the inDesign file and the pdf - no yellow background.
When I import this pdf in inDesign -, when I see the preview of the file -, when I open the pdf in Word, when I send the pdf to anybody, the yellow background shows.
It just don’t show in my Acrobat.
Thank you
Helga

Do you mean the blue background color of fields? This is a setting of the application, not the file. You can enable (or disable) it in Acrobat via Menu (or Edit, if you're on the old UI) - Preferences - Forms and tick "Show border hover color for fields".

Yes, I do see the yellow background.

What do you see when you open the files I attached? (Screenshots please)

Open the PNG in Photoshop or other raster-viewing program, not Acrobat.
