View Menu > Display Theme option is missing. How or where do I fix it?

[Guest]

I would like to try and improve the readability of PDFs in Acrobat DC by changing the Display Theme from Light to Dark Gray. However the View Menu > Display Theme option is missing? I've tried running updates but there were none available.

Ideas anyone? If this the wrong forum please direct me to the correct forum.

Hi robertw2527071 ,

Could you post a screenshot of the View menu?

Below is the screenshot of the View menu:

What is the exact version of Adobe Acrobat DC?

[Guest]

Exact version is 15.006.30174. The updater is reporting that there aren’t any updates available.

[Bernd Alheit]

The option is not available in the classic track.

[Guest]

Bernd, Classic track? Please forgive the question but we are using Acrobat DC. I thought “classic” was versions 11 and previous? How did you know by the version number that it was in the classic track?

[Bernd Alheit]

Your version is 2015.006.xxx:

Adobe - Acrobat : For Windows

Thank you for the answer. I was also able to find supporting information at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html

Who knew. Dual licensing tracks.

The classic track WORKS LIKE older versions. You buy a permanent license (or upgrade). You get the software as it is released. There may be bug fixes. After a year or to there will be new features and you can choose to buy an upgrade.

By contrast, the CONTINUOUS version updates regularly and continuously in small bits. Eventually, we imagine, the classic will catch up on a paid upgrade.  You get the continuous version if you subscribe.

I'm a little confused also. My version of Acrobat DC seems to be up to date (according to the CC installer) and yet I seem to be missing the Display Theme menu item. What am I doing wrong?

May be not available on the Mac.

Dude, I had the same issue with my mac and windows pc.

What I did was I went from trial to full paid version you might be in the trial version

The functionality of the application in the trial and paid versions is identical.

There are more recent updates than that.
