[Acrobat Xi Pro 11.0.6 Crack
Berry Spitsberg
I'm using CS6 and when I create a PDF, the RGB colors appear much duller than the original source file. The shift is about (if not exactly) what you would see if you converted an RGB document with bright colors to CMYK.
I'm on a Mac using the latest update to OS X. My typical process for creating a PDF is by starting with Photoshop JPEGs and using the "Combine Files in a Single PDF" function, or by exporting an InDesign document (with RGB art) directly to a PDF.
I've experimented with several different Color Settings to no avail, including different RGB settings (sRGB, Adobe RGB (1998), etc.). Currently my settings are using Bridge to Synchronize my Color Settings across my CS6 apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat) and have confirmed they are all reporting a Synchronized state.
My overall Color Setting is "Monitor Color" (though I've also tried others, including the default North American General Purpose). My RGB Workspace for all apps is set to the Profile of my Dell monitor, which was created with Apple's built-in calibration tool (not the best, I know, but wouldn't account for a difference as dramatic as this.) And my Color Management Policies under these Syncronized settings are all automatically set to "Off".
The PDFs appear dull even when InDesign is not part of the process. I can export an RGB JPEG out of Photoshop, use Acrobat to make it a PDF (Create PDF from File...) and am still getting the color shift.
Another update: I've exported PDFs from both Illustrator and a non-Adobe app as well (Microsoft PDF) and the exported PDFs also color-shift to duller hues when opening in Acrobat Pro or Reader. So it seems that Acrobat is somehow the culprit here.
This really has nothing to do with the Acrobat application as InDesign's export feature does not use Acrobat technology at all. If you need more help than we can provide you here you might be best off asking in the InDesign forum.
@MichaelKazlow Thanks. However, as noted above I've also created PDFs directly from Photoshop, Illustrator, and even Microsoft Word for further testing, and viewing those PDFs in Acrobat X or Reader still displays dramatically shifted colors.
I put an RGB image on screen with bright colors (i.e. 255 Red, etc.) and run Acrobat's PDF from Screen Capture. The resulting PDF immediately opens with the dulled colors. So this is happening even when no other applications are involved besides Acrobat.
Another test: I have a multi-monitor setup connected to a MacBook Pro, and systematically tried the Create from Screen Capture approach (as that is the simplest method and doesn't involve any other apps in the workflow) on every display I have, including the built in laptop display. Same results, so that eliminates display calibration as the culprit, and also points back again to Acrobat.
And I find it sad that some replies imply that the original poster doesn't know what he's doing and others don't even read his post well where he states that it has nothing to do with tranparency blend space since he assembled a PDF in Photoshop to test it.
That's one of the biggest head-scratchers for me: when I open my "dull" PDFs in Preview, it looks fine. Full-intensity colors are rendered accurately and look just like the source document, as expected. So that tells me the actual color definitions are intact in the file and were not modified through some sort of color conversion issue or bad color management setting.
Edit: this is actually the first time I've noticed this issue in many years of design. So perhaps it is something related to the recently-released Mountain Lion: I ran the exact same tests at home, on a system which happens to be limited to running Lion, and no problems there. Doesn't explain why Mountain Lion's Preview app will actually render the colors accurately while Adobe's app on Mountain Lion does not, but it is curious that that's the only significant change I've made to my system, having never had this problem in previous years.
I even converted the colors in Acrobat X to a different color space (ProPhoto RGB). Still looks bad in Acrobat, still looks fine everywhere else. Also single images in the ProPhoto RGB PDF sent from Acrobat to Photoshop look fine and show the correct profile.
Photo Mechanic by Camerabits (www.camerabits.com, a professional image viewing and rating program recently had issues with colors. They looked way over saturated or very dull, depending on whether the programs CMM was off or on. But the effect looked different on three different machines I checked.
If it were a bug in Mountain Lion, you'd think it would be happening to everyone using that OS, and evidently the majority of users are either not experiencing the issue, or not noticing it when it happens. Or have it but don't care to post about it on User Forums.
So if not everyone on Mountain Lion is experiencing the issue, that may mean the bug is more insidious, and is somewhere, somehow tied to a particular setting that both you and I are using somewhere (that not many other people use) that is triggering the problem.
Not sure what the next step would be. If we filed a bug report with Apple, they could easily say, "Sorry, the PDF opens fine in our app. You're having a problem with an Adobe app. Go tell them about it."
The problem might be more subtle ... many users may have it but don't notice it because the difference on their system is so small. On my laptop for instance this Acrobat/Reader issue is very minor. I had to do A-B comparisons to see it.
If it only shows up in Adobe's Products and no one elses then it is Adobe's ball of wax. But based on their reputation with the dead URL links from MacOffice Products that been around since 1995. I don't see it getting fixed
Another interesting thing about this bug is that if you go to full screen view (in acrobat, command+L) the colours revert back to their correct appearance. This is something that only started happening with my new Mac so I am highly suspicious of the OS.
Adobe Acrobat Pro. I export PDFs from InDesign and Illustrator CC. I've been doing it for YEARS (CS3). But, when I bought a new iMac 27" 5K Retinal Display and OS HighSierra, all of a sudden the PDFs looked dull when opened in Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I open the PDF in Apple's Preview it looks vivid and colors are saturated. When I open the same PDF up from an email attachment inside my Firefox browser from my gmail account it also looks perfect. See attached screen shot. Acrobat Pro on the left; Firefox browser with gmail preview on the right. Also my original InDesign display looks like vivid color on the right.
I just exported this PDF from InDesign using PDF/X-4 setting. Here is the result when opening the file in Acrobat Pro (left) and Mac Preview (left). I understand about different platforms, etc. However, it SHOULD WORK when all the products are in the new Adobe CC and I'm paying $600 / year for the products to work together on my new big expensive 27" iMac!
We've been running an old version of Acrobat for quite some time without any specific settings. Times have changed and between Adobe adding new things into the software that we're not interested in on initial launch and learning that my manager messed up the licensing count, I'm finding that I need to deploy the latest Adobe Reader, standalone Acrobat, and Creative Cloud's Acrobat to various systems on campus.
With that said customizing settings is something I'm not familiar with regarding Adobe's products unless I'm capturing and replacing setting files. Is there a more robust way to do this? For instance I would want to disable updates and two other settings I would like to disable are...
In these cases it's ok if the user can enable the las two settings but I want to deploy with them disabled. For updates I would like to keep that off permanently. Since users already been using one of the products listed, pushing out custom setting files is probably a bad idea since I don't want to overwrite their other settings.
We lock down all versions of Acrobat Reader and block access to all online services. I previously contacted Adobe Support for help and they sent me a few PLIST files which when installed didn't work but after a lot of trial and error I made these two PLIST files which block all access to online services.
I'm running Acrobat Pro DC 2015 (classic) or 2015.006.30456 and I tried creating /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist with the above information but I can still login to the Adobe Document Cloud. What am I missing?
Thanks to the plist(s) shown above I was able to build a customized installer with pre-set preferences for items under the section heading "Feature Lockdown" but there are apparently many other preferences that can be pre-set outside of the "Feature Lockdown" category. And Adobe helpfully lists them all here:
-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Macintosh/index.html
I am open to solving this problem either way - can anyone help? If you have this working could you post an example of the plist file (in xml). Also, does the plist file you supply the Customization app have to be in any particular format (binary, xml, or json???

An update on this one, the September 16th release brings a new capability for the Flexera agent to recognize the activated edition (for all users who have logged in the last 90 days on a computer) of Acrobat by reading the "ActivationLevel" registry entry.
