The issue you are experiencing with ghost images appearing in PDF files after downloading them could be related to the software rendering the PDFs on your system. Here are some steps you can take to address this problem:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Update PDF Software:
   • Ensure that your PDF software is up to date. Check for any available updates for PDFReader, Adobe Reader X, or any other PDF software you are using.
   []Clear Cache and Temporary Files:
   • Clear the cache and temporary files in your PDF software. These files can sometimes cause display issues.
   []Change View Mode:
   • Experiment with different view modes in your PDF software to see if the ghost image persists. Try switching between single-page view, continuous scroll, and other available options.
   []Disable Hardware Acceleration:
   • Some PDF software have hardware acceleration settings. Try disabling hardware acceleration in the settings if it's enabled.
   []Adjust Display Settings:
   • Go into the display settings of your PDF software and see if there are any contrast or ghosting settings that could be causing this issue.
   []Try a Different PDF Viewer:
   • If the issue persists, consider trying a different PDF viewer to see if the problem is specific to your current software. Tools like Foxit Reader, Sumatra PDF, or even opening the PDF in a web browser can help diagnose if it's software-specific.
   []Check PDF File Integrity:
   • Ensure that the PDF files you are downloading are not corrupted. Try downloading the same PDF files on another device or computer to determine if the issue is consistent.
   []Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Update your graphics card drivers as outdated or corrupted drivers can sometimes cause display issues in PDF applications.
   []Check System for Malware:
   • It's good to run a scan on your system to ensure there are no malware or adware causing display issues in your PDF software. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the ghosting issue you are experiencing with PDF files on your system.
