    I appreciate your suggestion but it didn't work for me.

    Here's how I did it:

    Clicked on TouchUp Text tool

    Clicked on and selected text (Command A)

    Control clicked to open TouchUp Properties popup menu

    Clicked on the Text tab

    Clicked on Fill color for No Color popup menu (don't know why it says "no color")

    Selected a color.

    You can Change all text after the fact, by

    1. Clicking on Select arrow in memnubar the going to menu and choosing Edit menu > select all (or command A should work).
    2. Then right click and from popup menu choose properties.
    3. choose appearance (should allow you to change font color but not fonts used)

    you can change individual words by

    1. clicking on Text edit button in menu bar shows a T in small caps.
    2. Then highlight word or desired words and right click and choose properties.
    3. Then choose Appearance. you can change color from there.

    The ideal way though is my changing color in original Document first the create a new PDF. If the PDF has been made into a Form do the following:

    after you have edit original docoment

    1. save as a slightly different name as a PDF.
    2. Open orignal PDF choose document from Main menu choose replace Pages
    3. Start from first page and choose replace all pages.

    If nothing changed except text color then you form field will saty as they are.

      As long as you figured what to do is all that matters. You did much as I said except I was referring to use of the mouse to do the slecting of desire text. But the way did id okay as well.
