PDFs Appearing Without Color

Modified on Fri, Aug 23 at 9:58 AM

Occasionally, you may find a document that has color (like a Word doc or Excel spreadsheet) loses its color when you convert it to PDF.


After you ensure that you are not printing to PDF as black & white, check this setting in Adobe:


Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Accessibility, and make sure "Replace document colors" is NOT checked.  This setting would treat all light colors as white or no color.
