Fill & Sign text is white

Sometime in the past couple months the Fill & Sign text color changed to white...which makes it useless for filling in forms on white background. I've searched the community and everything says the color of the Fill & Sign font cannot be changed.

I had to uninstall version 2019.021.20061 and reinstall an older version (.20058) to be able to use Fill & Sign again.

Anybody else? Since I didn't find any Community topics where someone else mentioned it, maybe it was just a quirk of my PC/system or a bad install. Certainly it could not have been intended...

Thanks

I had the same problem and finally figured it out.  

 

Right click on the dot icon, which will get you to the show all labels function. Then you can change the font to any color you like.

SOLUTION:

Select Fill& Sign on the right.

On the top toolbar below page numbers and zoom you will see Fill & Sign tool bar.

Right click on toolbar and select Show All Labels

Change color appears left of Sign Yourself.

 I can see the change colour on the menu bar but can't change it. It and the Ab Text are in blue if that means anything?

None of the solutions that I found online worked for me so I've decided that Adobe's time has passed and I've switched to using another product. How ridiculous is it that something as common as changing font color can no longer be easily handled by a company that produces professional document editing software. That's what can happen when one company dominates a market.

For those of you who didn't have the same options people are listing here (I couldn't get any of this to work), first select the text box, then on the "All tools" menu (located on the top-left), select "Fill & Sign".   On the floating pop-up menu, you'll see 6 icons with a difficult to see white circle beneath them.  That circle is your font color.  Click it and change it to black, then scream in frustration that Adobe made you do all of this.

When you are in Fill and Sign Mode, on the right you will see a vertical toolbar. The bottom tool has 3 horizontal dots, one up from that is the tool that lets you change colors. It is a solid circle showing the selected color, unfortunately if the selected color is white it only shows as a faint gray circle. You left click on this and it lets you change the color.

I have been going nuts trying to get black text instead of white--this message board got me unstuck. Thanks to all! The Adobe interface looks a little different than what's described in some of these posts. Here is what I'm seeing as of Sept 2024, with a red arrow dropped in to show where you can click to change the font color.

I am trying to fill and sign a form using the textbox tool but three letters (k, w, x) and all numbers are showing as white and I can't make them black. The black color dot (color selection) is black and I have tried highlighting the white text, selecting a different color and returning it to black but these three letters and all numbers are still white. I have also tried the Accessibility suggestions from previous posts. I am using Acrobat Pro 2024. If anyone can shed any light I would be so grateful!

I am still struggling with this issue and wondering if anyone can help. When I use the text box to fill in a form the lowercase letters k,v,x and uppercase letters B, F, G, I, J, K, O, R, U, W, X), ALL of the numbers, and most of the symbols besides ! and " show up as white. It's not the issue others have with the color selection tool - the font color is set to black and the same issue arises in any color.  Has anyone else experienced this and have a fix or any suggestions? I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2024. It's driving me bonkers!

You're the first person to have this explanation, which worked, thank you so much by the way.  But also, you explained it linearly, and with a picture.  My problem was the text was defaulted to white, and that icon looked like a "non-entity" bit of design work.  Thank you so much.  I've been sitting here for an hour trying to figure this out, and Adobe has not been helpful at all.  You're a hero!
