How to Invert Colors in Adobe Acrobat?

Published in Adobe Acrobat 2 mins read

To invert colors in Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can adjust the accessibility preferences. Here's how:

Steps to Invert Colors:

  1. Open the PDF: Right-click the PDF you want to modify and select "Open with > Adobe Acrobat Reader."
  2. Access Preferences: Click on the "Edit" menu at the top of the Acrobat Reader window.
  3. Navigate to Accessibility: Select "Preferences" from the dropdown menu. In the Preferences window, choose "Accessibility" from the left-hand pane.
  4. Enable Color Replacement: In the Accessibility options, find the "Replace Document Colors" checkbox and mark it.
  5. Customize Colors (Optional): You can choose to use high-contrast colors. Select either "Use High Contrast Colors" and choose a color combination or select "Custom Color" to specify the colors for text and background.
  6. Apply Changes: Click "OK" to save the changes.

Important Notes:

  • These settings in Acrobat Reader change the display for you within Acrobat Reader. They don't permanently alter the PDF file itself.
  • The inverted colors will only be visible within Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer. Other users opening the same PDF on their devices will see the original colors.
  • This method is generally used for improved readability, especially for people with visual impairments.
  • This won't work if the PDF is an image, as Acrobat Reader sees the entire PDF as one element.
