How to make line art the correct color while using white text on black/black bg page and white text?

[felix_9227]

I have a pdf that has a black circle that is cut into 3/4 and 1/4 by a white rectangle outline. When I use custom colors in Adobe Acrobat Free, I get white text and a black background, and images are not inverted, and this is a huge positive for me, it makes me want to ditch Okular and SumatraPDF on Windows. However, some line art is not correctly colored.

In my pdf, when I enable custom coloring text (white text on black/black bg page and white text), it will have the white rectangle outline not be correctly colored. It is still white, and not black. When I disable one of the two default settings in the Accessibility section, with the disabled one being

"Only change the color of black text or line art"

and me keeping the enabled one

"Change the color of line art as well as text"

enabled,  it will make the rectangle outline a gray color. Not black but it seemed to almost fix my issue. 

Is there a way to make it so that this can have a black rectangle outline? I would love it if someone could help me with this. The pdf is attached below.

Hi @felix_9227,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble, and the delayed response.

If you are still looking for a solution, here are a few potential solutions you can try:

1. Adjust "Change the color of line art as well as text" setting

• You’ve mentioned that the setting causes the rectangle outline to turn gray. This suggests that line art is being affected by the custom color settings in a way that doesn’t fully replicate the desired effect.
• You could try toggling the setting back and forth to see if it allows for further fine-tuning. Sometimes, switching it off and back on can make the results a bit more predictable.

2. Experiment with the "Only change the color of black text or line art" setting

• If you disable the "Only change the color of black text or line art" option, the custom color scheme could treat the outline differently.
• Disabling this might help the rectangle’s outline get colored more consistently with the rest of the document’s text and graphics.

Let me know if any of this help or if you need more specific advice on one of the steps!
