Hello everybody out there using TeX,
Sorry for molesting you with a question involving closed-source software, but Adobe's Acrobat Reader on Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't display colored text within my document, whereas evince for example does. Can anyone of you reproduce this minimal example?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}
Hello, \color{blue}{world}!
\end{document}
Acrobat (windows at least) has an option to replace the document colours in its accessibility options. If this is checked then you can not control the colours from within the pdf file as the reader will replace them with colours chosen to help with colour distinctions.
I've had similar problems on Windows when using some alternative fonts. Use \textcolor instead of \color.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}
Hello, \textcolor{blue}{world!}
\end{document}
The \def of \textcolor uses \leavevmode. You could try \leavevmode\color{blue} also.
\textcolor was also my first idea. Unfortunately it didn't work.
