PDF Changing text and Background colours

hello and welcome to this video my name is Justine flower and in this video I shall be showing you how to change the text color and the background color of your PDF so I'm in the correct contrast between the font color and the background color is really important particularly if you have difficulty reading texts such as dyslexia or visual impairment so as you can see we are in a PDF already and to change the color you need to go up to the menu up here and pick edit and go all the way down to the bottom to preferences and click on that this opens a new window so in this window we need to be under accessibility here on the left mine's already on that so if we go across now we want to go to the document color options which is the first box at the top and we want to click on the replace document colors mine's already got a tick on there and then we go down to the custom colors now here you can choose the background and you do this by clicking on the box next to it and that will bring up a palette now you can choose one of these or what you can do if the color isn't there that you want is pick another color and here you can pick from a range of colors and shades and you can make it the color darker or lighter with this slide bar you can see which color is because in this box shows you the color that your document will be so we're going to go with a light green for this and once I'm ready I've prayer I just press the ok button and you can see now in the little box next to page background that color has changed so now I want to change the document text color and I do exactly the same process I click on there and you can either pick from the palettes or choose another color and the I'm going to choose blue so now I've also clicked in these boxes so I have only change the color of black texts and line art or change the color of line art as well as the text now I personally prefer both of these so I'm going to leave both those ticked once you have made your selection all you need to do is click the ok' button and that will be applied now one of the nice features about this is once you have changed those every single PDF that you open in Adobe Reader will look this color so you don't have to keep going back and changing it to this color it will automatically open so it's important that you choose the right colors and you may need to try a number of colors in order for you to get the right ones I prefer colors like this which are pastel and there isn't a high contrast between the color of the text and the background and but you need to have a play with that and see which would be your best color okay thank you very much for watching this video and goodbye you have been listening to ask an expert at parent champions to Auklet UK parent champions as an initiative set up by the dyslexia spld trust to support parents and carers of children with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties parent champions talked at UK is packed full of lots of practical resources as well as a wide range of expert advice including five short films with top tips on reading writing spelling organization and memory we've also published a booklet understanding dyslexia for you to share with your family you can join our national team of parent champions at WWE champions to audit UK we are also on Facebook and Twitter where you can share ideas get support and be in touch with parent champions across the UK and air your views on any issue that's important to you
