Kay just solved an interesting problem with her Vista laptop :
She was looking up journal articles for her course, and frequently found she could not read them, because the text was gray on a black background (or sometimes some other ridiculous colour combo).
After some mucking around, she found an option in Adobe Reader preferences, under Accessibility, to “replace document colors”. This allows you to override the document settings, and specify black on white.
Since I’ve never seen this problem before, and the same pdf documents were fine on my Ubuntu laptop, I’m guessing this is a problem caused by Vista.
