Hello! Today I was underlining some documents on preview, I changed the highlighter to green and I found it was ugly. Too much intense and satirated. O switched back to the yellow one but even this one is really saturated. O don't know what happened and how to change it. What can I do? These colors are really ugly. Here's a comparison screenshot:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.3.1
it's shifter forever in every document. Old docs have the old color, new docs have the new one, that doc have it both since it's where it happened.
Honestly I don't want do download a third party app, even if it's adobe, to read pdf etc. Preview is fast, light and it works well. I just want to fix this.
The highlight colors in Preview are unchangeable. Use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, where you can set your highlight colors to those of your choosing.
When you open a PDF in Acrobat Reader DC, the toolbar may have truncated (...) on the right, but if you click that ellipsis, one of the remaining items is Highlight. By default, this will be the same sickening yellow orange used by Preview. Right-click on the highlighted word, and choose Properties. Click on the color well on this properties panel, and change it to vivid yellow. When you quit the Color Chooser, your PDF highlight color will change to yellow.
yep, the problem is that they changed! The image show my preview highlighter 5 min before and after something happened. I don't remember how it happened, I just underlined something with the green highlighter that I never used, then switched back to yellow and it had that awful over saturated color. Check your preview, I'm pretty sure you won't have that color. I never had it, I had the more lighter color you see on the image, but not anymore.
EDIT: I have Sierra 10.12.4
I cannot explain why Preview is shifting the same, highlighter color's spectrum on you in the same document. I did explain how to avoid this though. 😉
Preview App suddenly changed highligher color
