Font color in Fill and Sign

[1James1]

The font color in Fill and Sign somehow got changed to White. How do I change it back?

All I see is comments that say it cant be done, but mine is definitely white and saves as white.

Actually you can change the font color for Adobe Sign fields, you just have to know how to do it.  As far as I know, it can't be done using the Prepare form mode in Acrobat. The form has to be created using a different method. But I could be wrong about this. 

The question for you however, is how did you get a white font?  How did you create the form? Can you post it?

[1James1]

Unfortunately, I can't post it as it is a proprietary company form.

I did not create it, I am just trying to sign and date it, but when I enter the date it is white.

Are you placing the singature field(area) on the form when you send for signatures, or is it already there?

[1James1]

I received the form. I turned on fill and sign to sign and date it. When I go to enter the date it is white text

[Thom Parker]

Does this form have fields on it already? is it fillable?

Is it already a Fill and Sign form?

[1James1]

It was a standard pdf form that the company wanted me to sign and date. I turned on fill and sign to do so and the text for the date was white. 

I ended up printing out the for signing it and scanning it back to send, because everywhere I checked it said you can not change the font color in fill and sign.

I had this problem too. Once you click on fill and sign, you should see a row of options at the top of your document

Ab  X  (a check mark)  (an oval)  (a line)  (a dot)   Sign

To the right of Sign, there is a dot that lets you change font color. But you cannot see it because it is white!!!! Click in that area until you see a color palette. Then choose black or off-black. (I actually couldn't get black to work, so I had to use off-black). That should solve the problem

I spent ages trying to figure this out. So, once the colour is set to white, the button is almost invisible on a white background, and if you don't remember how you changed it in the first place, you're stuck. It's obviously stumped a lot of people. Thanks very much for sharing. Phew! Solved at last.
