Hello! I haven't seen this question anywhere, but I do hope that there is
someone who can help me with this problem.

Whenever I open a .pdf file, whether in Acrobat or within a web browser, my
computer suddenly goes into low-color (8-bit) mode, and I have to go to
personalization/display settings to correct it. I have the most recent
version of Acrobat, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but this
still happens every time I open a .pdf!

Is there anything I can do to stop this, and prevent it from happening in
the future? It's extremely frustrating!

Thanks!
 
I had similar problems with Adobe and could not find a remedy, eventually
started using a program called 'Foxit Reader" and completely uninstalled
'Adobe" now use 'Foxit" with no problems and it is not as bloated as 'Adobe"

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader, right click
AcroRd32.exe and choose PROPERTIES...check the compatibility tab and
clear any settings

Thanks for the tip! I did wind up fixing Acrobat, but if I find there are
any more problems, I will try Foxit. It's sometimes hard to find alternatives
for widely-used software.
