Color shift in dynamic PDF

[zncd]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed the variation in the rendering of RGB colors between a Static PDF and Dynamic PDF saved from Designer. I created a simple 1 page file in Designer with a rectangle and the following custom fill:

R: 28

G: 227

B: 182

Then, I saved the file as a dynamic PDF and then re-opened and saved as a static PDF. When I opened them both in Acrobat, the color difference was very noticeable. The dynamic PDF muted the color and made it appear almost blue. Interestingly, this color is closer to a CMYK equivalent, but I can't imagine that dynamic PDFs are rendered against a CMYK profile.

Any insight into how the color works and how to control it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Nissan

Hi Nissan,

Fair play to your eyesight. We tried replicating that here and the difference is subtle. If anything the dynamic forms display the colours correctly (82,227,182) while the static PDF colours are offset slightly (43,228,184). This is on Acrobat Pro v9 on a Mac.

We then tried opening the files in Acrobat Pro Extended v9 on Windows and all colours were correct.

Interesting, but can't explain  ;-)
