I need to delete the black background of a PDF file on iPhone with Acrobat Reader. I would like to print the file without using all that black ink!

Is that possible?

Thanks

    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-e The color conversion can be done using Print Production.

    Thanks to all, but I posted this thread in the Acrobat Reader Mobile section. I'm using the app for iPhone.

    I will considered the suggested options.Thanks again.

      To be more exact I would like to perform an Inverted or Reverse Text Print: my pdf has a black background and a white or yellow text. In the past I worked at Teletext and when we had to print a page we had that function in our application. As you probably know Teletext is text (news and content) on the TV screen: the background is black and the text is white, yellow, red,... Printing normally would mean using tons of black ink, so we used Inverted Text Print. Each color became black and the background white, like it is normally.

      Now I would like to print this flyer.pdf and I read I could use Adobe Reader and the layers function.
      I will use your links, thanks.
