If you had a PDF opened, the new color scheme should take effect.

After you’re done defining the colors, click on the Apply button then Ok.

If your PDF has lines, you can also set the colors for the Line Art.

To create a custom color scheme, just select your color preferences under Page Background color and Text color.

The pre-defined ones include one that adapts to the color scheme you use on Windows and then a couple of high-contrast schemes ( Green Text on Black Background, Yellow Text on Black Background etc.).

Now we can use a pre-defined color scheme, or we can create one for ourselves.

At the top, enable the option Override Document Colors.

In the settings category, click on Accessibility.

Go to the program’s preferences by pressing Ctrl+K on your keyboard.

Likewise, the colors cannot be overridden if the PDF is composed of images, such as scanned documents. This particular feature however requires a license to use, otherwise DEMO stamps are going to be placed on the if you save the document on the free version. You can do this on PDF-XChange Editor by going to Organize > Background > Add > From Color. To change the actual background color, editing the PDF is necessary. This is however temporary and does not change the actual background color in the PDF. It’s simply not the best experience especially when reading a book without a blue light filter.įortunately, PDF-Xchange does provide us with options to customize the background and font colors. Personally I got interested in changing the background color of PDF as I realized the bright white that’s universally used in PDFs is very hard on the eyes. The features we’ll be making use of are exactly the same in both. That said, for what we want to do here today you don’t have to upgrade to the new PDF Editor. The PDF Editing features however require one to buy a licence, otherwise the rest of the features are free. The two products are very much alike it’s only that the Editor is more feature-packed and includes an updated interface (ribbon menu & touch optimized UI).
