How can I change the font or background color of my PDF e-book. I use Adobe reader v10 and it has no default option to change this.
Is there a way to edit the e-book to change the font or background color?
Taken from here:
- Open Adobe Reader. Go to Edit - Preferences - Accessibility.
- Make sure the "Replace Document Colors" is checked and click on Custom Color.
- Click "Page Background" color and then select "other color."
I don't know if the version of Adobe Reader matters or not (or if it matches what you have).
You could also consider using a different PDF view. I personally perfer SumatraPDF. It has a settings.txt file that you can edit to customize the text, background etc., which can be accessed via Settings > Advanced Options (options your default text editor for txt files).
NOTE: I am using SumatraPDF v2.4

I think version matters because there is not Accesibility under Preferences in not available in my version. I need a global way – user26 Dec 23 '13 at 16:33

1@ChristmasUnicorn: You should post your version of Adobe Reader if you must stick with using that reader. It will affect the proper answer(s). As an alternative, I have posted a different reader you can use and how to access it. – Jason Down♦ Dec 23 '13 at 16:38

I already updated and I don't need to stick to that reader. I can always upgrade. +1 anyways – user26 Dec 23 '13 at 16:39

1Not a bad idea ;) Give SumatraPDF a try. Another good one is Foxit Reader, though I switched from that one a while back because of extra 3rd party stuff it wanted to install. That may have changed now, but I haven't looked back from SumatraPDF. – Jason Down♦ Dec 23 '13 at 16:47

To answer the second part of your question: it is possible but not trivial to change the font and the background colour of a PDF file.
I have successfully done such edits on existing PDF files using pdfedit.
