Yellow 'boxes' in PDf Viewer

Post by Aftertouch »

Hello all,

We have a realy strange issue on the laptop of one specific user.

When he opens a PDF, some part of the PDF are showing a yellow-color.
No other user has this issue.

Sample:

I tried to replicate it, but the closest i got is the buttton:

for me, this marks some parts of the PDF 'grey'. and its exactly the parts that the other user sees in yellow.
When he tries this button, the yellow parts become grey also. When turned off, they are yellow again.

We tried:
- The 'kleuren overschrijven' button in PDF X-change.
- Reset the settings of the program to default
- All windows 'high contrast' settings and themes
- Windows nightliht settings,
- Windows collor scheme settings.

But none of this works, any suggestions?

Hi,

Most probably something wrong with the current "color profile".

See: viewtopic.php?t=48045

Does that help ?

Kind regards.
