As Souvik said, this cannot be done in Adobe Acrobat Reader for Mobile. In addition to what he said, here are some other things to try:Some printers can print inverted colors. See if yours does.In Photoshop, Cmd+I (Ctrl+I on Windows) inverts the colors. You might be able to do this with a free or inexpensive image editor if you don't have Photoshop.I'm trying to think of how to do it in the desktop version of Acrobat DC and quite honestly cannot think of how. Jane @jane-e The color conversion can be done using Print Production.  More info here: Color conversion and ink management -Souvik
