Acrobat 8 background

[echnidna]

Recently put AR8

Not happy with it.

The background comes up like graph paper.

Almost impossible to read small text in catalogs.

Is it possible to change AR to a white background?

I've AR 8 and don't have that problem. I think your computer is getting sicker.

Can you post a picture of the problem document?

The document is secured so I cant copy it to clipboard easily.

Hers another one with a graphic background which is ok but you can see the margins are hatched. A document without a graphic background is like this all over making it difficult to decipher text.

Heres a pdf of this thread up to now.
it shows the text on the hatched (transparent?) background

That only happens on pirated versions Bob.

pirated versions of acrobat reader??????????

[echnidna]

Just had a look, I got version 8.0.0

swmbo has version 8.1.0 and has no problems opening the same file.

Think I'll totally uninstall my version then install 8.1

Have you tried repairing Acrobat reader, Go to "Help" on the menu bar and click "Repair Acrobat Reader Installation

[Grunt]

I can't see any parameter that would make AR do that. It must be you that is stuffed Bob. :)

Uninstalled it, ran system mechanic to clean up the crud
Installed version 8.1
Works well , no problems
