I made document in microsoft word with colors models and when I save it as pdf, my acrobat doesn't show grey objects, just show grey contours with white filling (other colors works fine). Other programs which read pdf show my grey objects good, just acrobat seems to have wrong setting or somethin. Please help me!

    Hi Robertp,

    It seems the file has been created using Microsoft word technology, not with Acrobat.

    If you have Acrobat installed you should have Acrobat PDF Maker ribbon available at the top of Microsoft Word, try creating the file using that option. If you don't have Acrobat I would suggest reporting this issue to Microsoft.

    The first one is pdf file and the second one is word file.

    Files properties

    I set "Display large images" earlier and it didn't help.

    Thank you so much! It works fine now I had to check acrobat and ms word compatibility and then I could print my document via Acrobat PDF Maker ribbon.

    What steps and what settings (exactly) did you use to make the PDF?

    Post a small sample screen shot of what it looks like in Word and what it looks like in the PDF.

    In Reader, what does it say in File > Properties for the Application?

    If the images are large, you will need to turn on the "Display large images". You will find this under "Edit => Preferences => "Page Display".
