I can't print my PDF file in color, only black & white!

The only thing that worked for me was to delete the current Adobe Acrobat Reader and go to the Adobe website and download and install it again.  Works perfectly now.

I have same issue.  I've tried all of the suggestions in this thread, but none of them work.   Ridiculous that Adobe can't implement basic functionality.   Especially frustrating that I now get popups inside acrobat offering all kinds of AI solutions.  I just want to print a simple document in color.

Super frustrating but this worked for me:

Go to File/Print/Advanced and check the box for "Print as Image" 

Adding to this. I use pdf to print my stickers for my business and it WAS working until I upgraded my plan to all apps for this year. The acrobat was updated and now stopped printing in color and I've either done EVERYTHING suggested or the option isn't there.

I'm furious because I was printing stuff for a convention TOMORROW! I had JUST updated this and did not expect it. And I can't even get access to my old version to print in color! I'm distraught.

Adding my voice to this issue. I still cannot print any Adobe PDF document in colour. Tried everything. Very frustrated. Impacting my work.

I tried all other suggestions, but what worked for me was:

In the print command, go to COMMENTS & FORMS. In the drop down menu where it says SUMMARIZE COMMENTS, Select DOCUMENTS AND MARKUPS.  It immediately showed the colors in the preview. 

I gave up. We downloaded bankfiles that were PDF format. We altered lines using Adobe Acrobat with color highliting  and notation. We transfered those PDF files via email attachment to another computer that controled the printer and opened them there in Adobe Acrobat. They displayed properly, but would pring only in B&W. eliminating the highliting and the notes! Working through tears of frustration I tried to open them in Photoshop, which displayes PDF files, but my computer wouldn't offer that choice.  But it did offer to open the filed in the Firefox browser. I opened them there; they displayed exactly as desired and  printed perfectly! My wife said "what is Firefox?"

With respect to the "helpful" answer from Adobe support, it simply does not work.  I am pretty sure anyone who got here already tried the options suggested by Adobe, and of course they have made sure that the "print in black and white", or "print in greyscale" options are not ticked.  Everything else prints in colour, from any other program, but nothing printed from inside the Adobe Reader program will print in colour.  ADOBE, you need to fix this!

There is however a simple solution that anyone using a Mac can use to solve this.

SOLVED: SOLUTION BELOW

Use your Mac's built-in "Print Preview" program to print the document.  It will print it in colour.

To do this,

1. Use Finder to locate your .PDF file.
2. Right click once on the file name.
3. The second option on the pop-up list is "Open with"
4. Select "Preview.app"*
5. Follow the usual procedure to print, i.e. at the top left of your monitor click on "File", then select "Print" at the bottom of the menu.   Make sure the "Black & White" check-box is un-checked, and that you have selected your normal colour printer, and click "Print"

*In the event that you don't see "Preview.app" in the list of programs, scroll down to the botttom of the pop-up list where you will see the option "Other".  Click on "Other", and you will be able to find the "Preview.app" in your "Applications" folder.

Here's what worked for me:

1. Go to edit

2. Go to preferences

3.Tap Accessibilty

In the box "Document Color Options", see if "Replace Document Colors" is on. If so, Click it off, then OK.

Hope it works for you.
