text colour changes when exported

[jessejestful]

hi!

so, i'm making a multi-page PDF with some small text boxes running uniformly down every page. however, when i export the pages as individual PDFs or view the whole pdf in another application (including the preview on the printer's website), the lower left corner text is lighter. when viewed in acrobat, the text is all the same, correct colour.

I've checked and there are no semi-opaque objects in the way, and just in case i've re-done all the text on every page, even the text not affected, brought them to the front, and still it persists. annoyingly, it's only on some of the text, not the numbers!

help! this is driving me up the wall!!

Hi Jessejestful,

Interesting issue.

Forgive the basics here but when you are in Edit mode, can you take a screenshot of the Font information for the black text and then the grey text?

I want to see something that looks like this:

Also, FWIW, I'm using Acrobat DC, which version of Acrobat are you using? (and what is your OS?)

Hi Gary, thanks for the reply.

All the text for the week numbers, previous month numbers, and holiday information is the same shade of grey, the only black I have is the current month numbers and name of the day (the month titles are images, created in photoshop). I'm using Acrobat Pro DC, and my operating system is IOS High Sierra. Honestly, I don't work in Acrobat very much, I'm much more familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator.

Here are two (identical, but these are different images) screenshots of the font information for 'WEEK 5', 'WEEK 9', next to 'TUESDAY' for comparison's sake, from the 'June' panel i pictured above.

'WEEK 5', which appears correctly                         'WEEK 9' which appears lighter                   'TUESDAY' black, appears correctly

OK, here's another stab: When you go into Edit mode, is there an "otherwise" invisible rectangle over the bottom left?

Nope, and I've tried reconstructing a page element by element in another document too

Hi jessejestful,

Sorry for the delay in response. 

As per the issue description mentioned above, text colour changes when exported in Acrobat, is that correct?
