DTTG PDF Highlight Colors Displaying Incorrectly

mbartee · September 25, 2020, 5:20pm

I use Highlights (highlightsapp.net) to annotate PDF files. I open the PDF files directly in the Highlights iCloud file menu, navigating the DTTG database hierarchy to open the PDF file. However, when I save the file, the highlighted colors do not all represent themselves accurately. If I load the same PDF in DEVONthink 3 on Mac, the colors are correct. They are also correct if I load the PDF in PDF Expert on iOS or another app. See pictures below and attached PDF. Does DTTG have a more limited range of color choices than the other apps, and somehow defaults to the “closest” color?

Thanks so much for any suggestions/help! xcode.pdf (175.7 KB)

What do you see when you open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat on the Mac?

@eboehnisch thanks for the reply. everything looks as it should in Adobe Acrobat on Mac.

Thanks so much!

Thank you, we’ll forward this to the developers of the PDF engine.
