Question

Is there a way I can save different preferences with each pdf?

Hi,

I read a lot of PDFs, and whenever I can I always prefer to read them with a black background because my eyes get tired so quickly on white. Unfortunately, some PDFs just can't be read with a black background because the original formating doesn't render well on black, so I just use the normal background for those.

My problem is that I usally have 5-10 pdf opened at the same time and I need to constantly go to Preferences>>Accessibility>>Replace the colors, in order to change the background back and forth, depending on which pdf I am reading. Not to mention that it's impossible to have 2 pdf, one with white background, one with black backgroung, simultaneously displayed one my screen.

Is there any way I can save the background preferences for each pdf?

Thanks for your help

    Sadly, no, the preferences apply to all files in Acrobat Reader, and can't be saved with the file.

    Thanks for your fast answer. Yes it's sad, that would be very useful to add this, not only for this particular preference but for some other ones I guess.
