I'm not sure I'm in the right forum, but here it goes.
Since upgrading my OS to Mountain Lion, I've noticed when viewing PDFs output from InDesign 5.5 that once in Acrobat Pro the colors look muted and inaccurate. I never saw this in Snow Leopard, hence my posting. Color in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS5.5 seem just fine, it's only when a PDF is viewed in Acrobat that I see this muted color issue.
What I'm concerned with is are these problems when viewing only, or is the PDF color range itself screwed up? I do prepress work and am using an Eizo CG241 display, CS5.5 and Acrobat Pro 10.1.4.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
I agree this is not fixed in the Acrobat latest patch release. We are still working to fix this issue on priority. This issue continues to be the top area of focus for us.
Regards,
Deepak

Thanks for letting us know this is being worked on.
Hopefully next time the news will be better …

Can't you simply do it the way the Photohop Team did it or the way the InDesign team did it.

I wonder why the priority has been set up only after such a long time ...
The bug exists since version 10!!!
embarrassing...

While I appreciate your updating here on progress, if this is the top area of focus for you, I'd really hate to be at the bottom of Adobe's list. Good luck to us all.

10.1.8 is out. Anyone tested?

10.1.8 is the same for me. For THE premiere imaging suite of products to have one of the apps NOT have proper color management working is unconscionable and unbelievable. Wow.

We need to all stop pretending that Adobe cares and move on.

Move on to what?
What are the alternatives?

Adobe Cloud of course! At $360/Year... Isn't it great?! NOT.

Don't know.

Time to face the music, folks. This is obviously not a high priority item for Adobe (or Apple, if it's even their court). I just don't see it getting fixed for Acrobat X users.

If that's the case I would say that's extremely LAME... they shipped a broken version of Acrobat Pro with CS6 and now expect people to just fork out $200 for their screwup. Not having it.

For those like me who scroll to the end of the thread to see if there is a solution. Once agein here. This already was mentioned above by others.
Workaround that works for me
A little Tool, that was specificly written for this bug.
https://github.com/iccir/ColorFaker
I only use this when softproofing in Acrobat and disable it right afterwards because of concerns of side effects when converting to sRGB.
Enjoy softproofing again

As for the rest: The rental model with Creative Cloud will never be an option for me. I'd like to be able to edit the files that are on my hard disk after I stop paying.

Hey,
maybe the hackers that stole the source code of Adobe Acrobat will fix the bug
Adobe says source code, customer data stolen by hackers
That would be quite embarrassing for Adobe

We always can use https://github.com/iccir/ColorFaker with Acrobat.

Maybe they will be more interested in fixing this than Adobe.

They probably hope the issue will miraculously ("Please, pleeeeease, go away!“) disappear in Maverics.

Still cannot see this as a Apple issue when the colour management works OK with Mountain Lion and Acrobat Pro 9! And the rest of the Adobe CS/CC suite.

Hi All,
Has there been any resolution to this? We have just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.9.2 and are now experiencing this.
I won't add any more screen shots, but we are using a proven colour managed workflow, and the only thing which has changed is the upgrade to 10.9 plus a fresh install of CS6.
Again we're on hardware calibrated screens. Indesign and Photoshop match, Acrobat does not.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi there ... till now the following ist the only »help« to bring color management back to Acrobat - not testet yet with the latest Yosemite:
There is a workaround (on Mavericks - but it should be the same on Mountain Lion) with Color Faker (http://github.com/iccir/ColorFaker) which seems to work till a fix will come ...
Start Color Faker and switch it on (important that no Adobe Software is running at this time) - start Acrobat ... go back to Color Faker and switch it off ... since you dont close Acrobat it has the Fake Color in its cache and the preview of the color is as it should.
The rest of the Adobe Suite seems to work normal (Without any guarantee! Please check it out by yourself and post here if you find another issue in this workaround - thanks) ...
Regards
Jörg

hi there!
just for info: for me colorfaker was the solution i could live with. but now i upgraded to yosemite and colorfaker doesn't work anymore. at least as it should work because now the colors in acrobat looks just too glare. even jörgs workaround couldn't be done any more because colorfaker and acrobat just crashes immediately when colorfaker ist turned on. it's really ridiculous that nobody (acrobat or apple... still don't understand who should fix it) is able to fix this issue.

I also can not understand, why this big bug is unfixed for so long time?
Are they sleeping?
Since Acrobat 10 the Bug is still alive, and Adobe doesn´t fix it.
Shame on you
