When I tried this, nothing happened. Can you elaborate please.

From you other post, it seems you want to change the background color of the Acrobat window. The instructions provided here are for changing the background color of the pages of a document while viewing.

yes i realized this thread was addressing a different issue, which was why i posted it as a new question.

How do you change the background colour so that the user opens the file with the custom colour background visible?

Thanks!!!!

Seb29,

This is controlled by a user preference, which cannot be set by the document. You will need to construct the PDF with the background color you want. Exactly how you do this depends on how you're creating the PDF (i.e., the source document).

That got it, thanks.

You should be able to change the page background and text color as well go to Preferences (press Ctrl+K) and select Accessibility.
