Hi Seank,

Sorry for the delay in response.

As you are have mentioned above, you are not able to change the font and color of the text you add in the PDF form.

You can only change the font and color of the text in the PDF form when there is a form field added to the PDF.

Also, if there are no predefined settings added on the PDF.

As you are using Fill And Sign to fill the PDF form, it seems there is no form field added to the PDF.

If you are using "Add Text" feature in Fill & Sign tool, sorry to say there is no option to change the font style and color.

It is a designed behavior.

You may change the text color you add in the PDF temporarily.

Open the PDF in the application and go to Edit > Preferences > Accessibility.

Check box for "Replace Document Colors" and then select the radio button for "Custom Color".

Select the text color and click OK at the bottom of the preference window.

The color of the text will change only for the PDF that you open in the application.

Check if that works for you.

You may share your suggestion on this over here Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Hope the information helps.

Let us know if you need any help.

Regards,

Meenakshi

I found I had to click the A|B in the top right after inserting text to have it change to fixed width.

It then changes to |Ab to signify you can change back to nonfixed width

Im not sure if it was necessary but before I saw this I clicked Edit --> preferences --> Font Options , and changed both default and fall back to courier which is fixed width ... this helped me fill in forms with fixed boxes for each character.

Unfortunately, this does not work. Black filled in text, stays black. The color swatch I choose gets a √, but the text stays black.

Hi Jaydude-wb,

Sorry for the delay in response.

As you wish to change the color for the text you fill in using the Fill & Sign, you will need to select the "Add text" tool and then change the color. The color change will work for the tool selected at the moment and the text added after that. There will be no change in the color of the text that is already added by this. Use the steps as suggested below:

1. Select the Add text tool.

2. Change the color.

3. Type in the text in the PDF.

To change the color of already added text: Select the text added and change the color manually.

Hope the information helps.

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi there!

Tools -> Fill and sign -> be sure tat you see all the options in the "Fill and sign" row (if not, right mouse click in Windows to enable it): the last one on the right side is "Change color" Q.E.D.

Hi, my text comes out white. I tried it with 2 different documents. And I have used these many times before, and the text was always black. But now it is white and so you cannot see it (unless you move the box around over black lines, you then see there is actually white text in the box.

So it is not possible to change the font color, but it did. And now I cannot change it back. I already did a "repair" on the install, but to no avail.

What do I do to get the black back?
