Acrobat Reader's Brightness

[kiepie]

Hi

I'm trying to view this journal, but can barely read it. It's so dark, how can I adjust it.
Thanks

I know, it looks like a Powerpoint presentation gone wrong!

Any advice bwana?

If you have illustrator you can remove the overlaying graphics - 70 odd pages is going to take a while though.

758mb?

Is this right?

Why don't you export the file to txt?

That doesn't even look like brightness is the problem. You can only read lines of text and the rest is covered by the weird patterns they have in the background, except it's not in the background of course.

The bits that you can read have perfect brightness when you change the colour scheme. I'm not sure if Adobe can do this, I used Foxit Reader, but it doesn't help in anycase.

Tried but a lot of text seems to go astray. I have a pretty old version of Acrobat though.

seems to be a colour ppt file, converted to pdf and monochromed at the same time, hence the background is now black.
and the foreground is black
WAY TO GO GENIUS

only thing i can think of is to go edit/select all.
then copy all the text into a new file, and read it without all the "pretty" graphics
