PDF document pages turning yellow

I converted a word document into PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro and all of the pages turned yellow. Does anyone know how to delete or turn off the yellow pages and make them just normal white pages?

Is anyone from Adobe going to respond here???

I tried changing all of these accessibility suggestions, but had issues with it changing colors I didn't want to be changed. Now I can't even add a signature to a document without it adding a yellow background color to my signature. I looked for a way to remove the update, I can't find any information on how to do that.

I am also on Windows 10 with a Surface Pro.  Today all of a sudden all the white bacgrounds on my PDS files started displaying yellow. There is nothing online that I can find on how to fix this.  Even uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat does not fix the problem.

Having the same issue with yellow backgrounds, but only on one of the two PCs in here. Both of which are running the same software, and same versions. Both have fully updated Adobe suites.

This accessibility seting change is posted in here a few times, it didn't work for me I think because I use other colors in my pdf files.

Yes, some of my PDFs, like exported powerpoint review pages (showing 3 slides on a page) are still all yellow with no change, while exported excel sheets with just text are fixed by this.  The accessibility setting in Acrobat is a very limited fix and can't change the yellow to white in more complicated types of PDF situations.

My wif'e's system has just started doing this, too. Seems to me that it's not an Adobe problem as several image file types also show up with yellow backgrounds in other apps (jpg, png, bmp, tif - in Windows Photos and in Word).

We are also having this issue. Glad to see it's being worked on; hoping for a quick resolution.

 

Having read all the replies: the "replace document colors" option is only a semi-fix. As others have noted, pictures within the document that should have a white background still have the yellow background.
