Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - Display Theme

[Guest]

Hi there,

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - specific details below:

"2015 Release (Classic) | Version 2015.006.30306".

A colleague has the Reader DC (as he doesn't need some of the tools available in Acrobat Pro). However, he is able to change the display theme to dark.

I don't seem to have this option.

What do I need to do to have this option as it would make things a lot easier on the eyes when reading PDFs? Is there another version of Adobe I need or is there some way of doing it in my current version

Cheers,
Matt

This is a new feature, found in the continuous (not classic) versions of Reader and Acrobat. New features are not added to Acrobat Pro (classic), which is frozen until there is a paid upgrade. So to have the latest features you need the continuous version, which is what subscribers get.

I do subscribe, and I'm not finding the option to use the dark theme.  I just downloaded it three days ago.....would assumed I have the most current edition.

Go to Help - Check for Updates to make sure.

Yes, I tried that.  Even did repair installation as a Hail Mary, because it only takes a minute.  Then thru more search thru the forum I learned it's about version #.   How I got an older one as a subscriber I have no idea.  Why that older one didn't recognize there was a more recent one when I checked for updates I don't know.  I do pay a subscription so I'm supposed to always have a later one.  But...at the end of the day, I'm not burning out my irises looking at the all white page because I found the solution rather painlessly.

Peace out.

Hello Matt,

Sorry for the delayed response and inconvenience caused. As per the description above, you are not getting the option of the Dark theme in Acrobat Classic version 2015.006.30306, is that correct?

Please install the latest update of Acrobat from help>check for updates, reboot the machine after installing the updates and see if this brings any difference.

You can also download the update/latest patch manually from  15.006.30417 Optional update, February 23, 2018 — Release Notes for Acrobat DC Products
