Acrobat for Windows and Mac: Page Operations

(thinking…)

"Find" (CNTRL + F) highlight color needs to be more visible

When I search for text on the page, the "highlight" that indicates the presence of that word on the page is IMPOSSIBLE to see. We need some way of really making text STAND OUT. For, example, in the image below I've searched for the word "chair." Can YOU see it? (hint: 22.18)

    This appears to be fixed in my version of Acrobat: Adobe Acrobat Pro
    Continuous Release | Version 2024.003.20054 | 64-bit.

    I now see fairly visible (in most files) blue highlights over text that I search for using the CTRL+F Find box.

    Can anyone else confirm this?

    I agree with @jmhuculak! The highlight is almost impossible to see, and I have excellent vision and large monitors. I have Adobe acrobat Pro DC V 2022.002.20212 64-bit continuous release.

    Hello, Aakash, sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Here is my version:
    Architecture: x86_64
    Processor: Intel
    Build: 21.7.20099.455081
    AGM: 4.30.111
    CoolType: 6.0.0
    JP2K: 2.0.2.49666

    And it's with every PDF file. If I enter my search term and hit "enter", I can't really see the highlighted word. If I click on the "number of matches" in the find box, then SOMETIMES it will highlight using a darker blue. But not always. Very strange bug.
