I am using Acrobat 9 with a Mac computer (10.10.5) , recently my typing is all faded- in every font and in every color- yet the typewriter tool has no opacity setting! How do I correct this?

I am using Acrobat 9 with a Mac computer (10.10.5) and recently all my typing is faded- in all fonts and in all colors- as if I changed the opacity setting, yet there is no opacity setting in the "typewriter" tool. Could someone please help me; this is very frustrating. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 9 twice to no avail.

Regards,

Richard

it did not work. on restarting Acrobat, the typing is still faded

Can you provide a sample of such a PDF? You can share it via the instructions here: Share Documents via Adobe's Document Cloud - KHKonsulting LLC

Karl,

I have been following the link to share an example of my pdf using cloud. I

see the file, but I never get to choose anonymous nor do I see a send

button; all I get is 'copy link' and then a mail form appears requiring me

to fill out an email address, which I don't have. What am I missing here?

Thanks-

Richard

There is indeed transparency associated with these typewriter annotations. I don't know how that happened, but I may be able to tell you how to get rid of it again: Load the document that you sent me, and then bring up the properties toolbar (Cmd-E - or if you ever try this on a Windows system, use Ctrl-E). Now select the old (non-transparent) annotation. The properties toolbar should change, and now offer a "More" button, which you need to select. On the properties dialog that pops up, there should be a "Make Properties Default" checkbox:

Select that checkbox and then click on "OK". When you now add a new typewriter annotation, it should be non-transparent.

Glad that it worked. Don't forget to mark my answer as correct, so that others with the same problem can find this information.

Karl, it appears to be marked correct already- thanks again!
