Hello. I have been using Acrobat 5.0 on Windows 2k Pro for several years. I have not updated because I haven't needed to. 5.0 does everything I need it to do and perfectly...well, until very recently, anyway, when the "free text tool" started using a transparent grey for the text instead of black. It seem to be an opacity/transparency issue. All other free text colors are also very faint.
I have tried changing the properties to different colors, different fonts, and also with and without fill color, to no avail. Fill colors are also transparent and washed out. Line border selection are also transparent. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, hoping to regain some default setting in the program that might have gotten changed, but that did not help at all.
Adobe does not address this issue to any degree of satisfaction in the KB.
I very much appreciate any insight into correcting this problem.
My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 5 / Windows

Hi puterbug,
I would suggest resetting the Registry setting.
Open a PDF file that does not show the transparency in the annotations (this would be a previously created PDF with annotations).
Right-click on one of the annotations and make a change in the properties (a different line color, change line weight). This will cause the Registry entry to be rewritten. This will have to be done for each type of annotation that shows the unwanted transparent behavior.
Hope this helps,
Lori

I have this same issue that puterbug had. I have tried opening older PDFs that had "solid" free text backgrounds. However, no change in transparency of new objects. Searched through registry to see if setting could be manually reset, but did not see clear direction. I believe other have this issue, is there some other solution avaliable now? Thank you.
