Colors are displayed incorrectly in Acrobat 5 or Acrobat crashes when opening a PDF


Product

  Prinergy 1.0; Prinergy 1.1; Prinergy Connect 2.0

Operating system

 

Any


Error

 


Symptoms

 

Pantone colors are displayed incorrectly in Acrobat 5 when Overprint preview is ON. For example, a red color is displayed as green.

Proofs and final output look fine, as does the Acrobat display when overprint preview is disabled.


Cause

  Acrobat 5 is used with overprint preview ON and the PDF was refined through a Prinergy system that has a L*a*b PANTONE database. Acrobat 5 has a bug that prevents proper display of spot colors that do not have CMYK recipes when overprint preview is used.

Solution

 

1. Uncheck Overprint Preview under the View menu in Acrobat.

2. Change the Prinergy color database to use a CMYK PANTONE database. (Warning, this should NOT be done if the customer is using color management)

Permanent fix:
