Illustrator - When exporting to PDF the colors and images are saturated

Community Beginner ,
Jan 15, 2023 Jan 15, 2023

Hi everyone. I'm currently trying to save as PDF a project that I'm working on, but when I save it, the colours and images are more saturated than in my AI file. I asked a friend if he could try saving it, just in case it was a problem with my laptop or something, but it keeps happening. I'm working in RGB colour. Do any of you know how I can solve this? 

 

This is in my AI file:

This is when I save it as PDF

Thank you very much! I just checked the Acrobat settings and the RGB wasn't the same as my AI document, but I changed it and now the colors look exactly like my AI project. 

 

And my document color profile is the same as the RGB in the Color Settings.

Thank you, make sure that the settings in Acrobat are the same and check your document color profile (location as shown in the screendump above).
