Topic: White text on black background not displaying

Just in case anyone reads this - I found the answer myself. Acrobat 5.0 has a set of Accessibility options (Edit|Preferences|General) and the problem I had related to using the "Adjust Display of Colors" option under the "Alternate Display of Colors" section.

I've since had to adjust that twice - once for the black/white issue, and later to view font color after having changed it in Acrobat via Text properties.

I currently have it set to "Always" adjust and life seems good.

Hope this helps someone else!
Janet
