Setting Acrobat 5.0 for high-contrast
viewing
Adobe Acrobat 5.0's Accessibility preferences can make
the information in PDF files easier to view for people who have trouble
discerning variations in contrast, different colours or who have low visual
acuity. These people can set the accessibility preferences as their application
default.
To change Acrobat 5.0 accessibility
settings for high-contrast viewing
- Open Acrobat 5.0 reader.
- Choose Edit>Preferences>General.
- Select Accessibility from the list of preferences.
- From the colour scheme menu, choose *Use Custom Scheme.
- In the Custom Scheme area, set the Text Color to your preferred colors,
such as bright green.
- From the Adjust Display of Colors menu, choose Always Overriding Document
Colors.
- Set the Page Background Color to a contrasting color, such as black.
- Click OK.
* Windows also supports a high-contrast viewing mode. If you've already
set up your Windows system for this mode, you can choose Use Windows Colors
instead.
Acrobat 6.0 and later versions
The latest version of Acrobat reader is now available and it is recommended that you upgrade to read PDFs on this web site. High contrast options can be found in:
- Edit>Preferences>Accessibility
- Select Replace Document Colors>Custom Color
- Set the text colour you prefer
