preview: highlight text slowly disappears over the days

Hi, I've got the same problem here.

I use Preview to highlight important parts during lessons and then study them at home and I had no problem before with Snow Leopard.

Now with 10.7 the more I highlight a document, the more it disappears in the first pages.

It's a really annoying issue and I can't solve it if I copy the pdf to a computer with snow leopard.

Hope this will be solved soon

I've also had the same problem. An AppleCare rep tried to help me, but no luck. They seemed to think it was a third party problem, which has proved not true.

I'm going to the Genius Bar tomorrow and hope to see if they have any suggestions. Will update you all if I hear anything that may help.

Thanks. Any way to fix this?

As a side note, with regard to Lion's Preview app, I have also been finding that when ever I annotate a PDF using grey text that text becomes invisible after one or more times reopening that document. That text is still there, but it's either being turned white or clear, because I am unable to see it on a white page. This doesn't happen when I use other colors. So, far all I've tried using are black, grey, blue and red -- and of those, I'm only having a problem with grey.

I will be going to the Genius Bar today. If I hear anything I'll be sure to post it.

Tonight I went to the Genius Bar. There seems to be two options:

(1) Do as the genius did tonight:

- Reset the home folder's ACL (Access Control List.) (He said to Google this to learn exactly how to do this.)

- Repair the disk permissions

- Delete the Preview preference file. It's a "plist" file located in user/library/preferences

If that doesn't work, then:

(2) Re-install Lion.

I tried Preview with the fixes and most of my problems seemed to be fixed. Those being the colors of the highlighted text and notes haven't dimmed after a number of quits and restarts of Preview. However, the grey text that I originally included in my annotations became invisible again. They're still there, but you can't seem them. Although the text that I included using other colors (blue & red) continue to appear.

My feeling that this still might be an issue related to versions, but who knows.

I do have the same problem, and there seems to be no solution so far. I ask the community again for help.

Same problem here, no solution yet. I deleted all com.apple.Preview entries in user/library/preferences, but my highlights are still disappearing.
