Showing colours in acrobat reader dc

[arcken]

I'm trying to open a 42 MB color file with acrobat reader dc. But acrobat reader DC will not display colors with as large a file. This is only possible if the file is not that large, such as a 16 MB color file is no problem. As an experiment, I have installed acrobat reader 6.0 pro from 2001 and this program has no problems displaying the 42 MB color file.

I also tried to remove acrobat reader dc and reinstalled it, but with no result. The program will only display this large file in black and white. ???

I became the answer from ADOBE: That my problem is because I use the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and I was told  to buy the Pro version instead. So my solution now is to use FOXIT Reader instead, this program has no limit about showing colours in big pdf-files.
