Hi, i'm having trouble with how Acrobat displays colors.
When looking at the file from inDesign (or illustrator too), colors appear as they should. But in Acrobat they appear significally more saturated. I already had this problem last year and solved it by disabling new Acrobat. But after updating to the last version it now happens on both old and new Acrobat.
I thought it was because Acrobat wasn't "applying"(?) the file's color profile (Fogra39) but I checked and it happens with RGB (sRGB profile) files too.
I have checked multiple times the color management settings on both programs and everything is as it should.
It isn't really much of a problem as the file's color is still correct, Acrobat's color checker matches the values on inDesign. As a curiosity, the color acrobat shows is the same that inDesign or illustrator's color picker shows too. No idea if it has any relation.
We had this issue as well. We disabled protected mode and that seems to correct this for us.

Hi @bhawnaarora ,
I am having a similar problem; the colour shown by InDesign is different from the exported PDF when viewed in Acrobat. I used Bridge to ensure the color space of the programs was synced, but the problem persists. Interestingly, the PDF shows the correct colour (same as Indesign) when opened in browser.

THANK YOU
I have no idea how that would cause the issue, but everything shows up fine now. I did have to disable both "Protected Mode at Start" and "Enhanced Security", or something similar sounding, I don't have my programs set up in english.
For anyone with the same issue: go to Preferences > Security (Enhanced) and disable those two options.
