Why are all the PDF documents I open in Acrobat on my phone, have dark background?

[Brad Corey]

All PDF documents I open in Acrobat reader on my phone, have dark background.

They are very hard to read.

I can't find a setting to change the background to be like a standard document with white background. 

1. I'm using Android 12 on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.

Hi @Brad Corey 

As you have mentioned that all the documents are having a black background, it could be because the night mode is on. You can turn it off from the 2nd option at the top when you open a PDF.

let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Harsh

Hi Harsh,

I am having this same problem. I'm using Android 13 on Galaxy A51 4G. I'm using the Acrobat for Samsung [Free User Account]. Every PDF Document I save has the black background. The solution that worked for the original poster doesn't work for me. There is no night mode option.

Hi @Reesah,

Sorry to hear about your experience.

Would you mind trying the steps mentioned here: Accessibility — Acrobat for Android Help

This should help you eliminate the black background that has been paining you.

THE SIMPLEST answer is to OPEN up Edit PDF > Preferences again and uncheck the Replace Document Colors box to remove the setting. 

Hope this helps anyone stuck! .
