Weird Rendering

[Kenneth Tong]

Hi, has anyone see this type of error before? This is really irritating. The document sometimes renders fine but sometimes renders like this below:

I'm experiencing a similar issue! It only starts when I select some text or if my mouse hovers over an editable field. I've tried looking for updates and reinstalling many times

Seems like I've finally found the solution.

Firstly, you will need to uninstall Adobe Acrobat using this tool:

https://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Download Version 4 and unzip and then run the "AdobeAcroCleaner_DC2015.exe" file.

Choose "Reader" (for my case at least).

After the uninstallation is done, it will ask you to reboot...I just didn't bother to, so I don't think its necessary.

Download and re-install Adobe Acrobat Reader from here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/

(I usually uncheck all those McAfee stuff and Chrome browser extensions before downloading)

After it is re-installed, open a PDF document and try to select some text...you should not have the rendering issue anymore.
