I appreciate that you took the time to respond. I was really just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience since it was contrary to the "Fill & Sign text is black" rule. As stated in the original post, I'd already worked around the problem by uninstalling and installing an older version. Since then, I have upgraded back to the current version and the Fill & Sign text is black, as it should be. I suspect that uninstalling and reinstalling the current version would have also been fine. Maybe the cleaner tool would have worked, too, but it's unclear why I would want to download a cleaner tool program to remove an existing version when simply uninstalling it does that.
