Viewing a pdf in Dark Mode results in lost text

[brennan_4618]

I recently started using Acrobat Pro for the Accessibility option that allows you to view a pdf in "dark mode" (changes to white text on black background). For most things, it works great but I am having issues with text not displaying when I look at certain pdfs - the pds are of linework from Revit and could be considered CAD drawings. The text that disappears is still selectable, but it does not show on the page.

I have tried all combinations of the Document Color Options but none get me to where I want. These are my current settings:

And this is what I see on my page (all those cells should have text in them):

Does anyone have any thoughts on what to do to make the text visible (it's there, it's selectable, but I can't see it)?

Hi @brennan_4618,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble, and the delayed response.

Would you mind sharing one such sample file to test? I tried reproducing this on a novel and was not able.

If you still experience this, would you mind trying out a few steps:

1. Go to Preferences-> Accessibility-> check the checkbox saying "Only change the color of black text or line art."

2. Since you are using White Text on Black background, would you mind trying to use the radio button saying "Use High-Contrast Colors"-> select White Text on Black.

Also, please ensure the application is updated to the latest version (2024.005.20320) for the best experience.
