Adobe Acrobat - How To Create Accessible Adobe® PDF Files Booklet
Appendix B: Setting Acrobat 5.0 for High-Contrast Viewing
Adobe Acrobat 5.0's Accessibility preferences can make the information in Adobe PDF files easier to view for people who have trouble discerning variations in contrast, different colors, or who have low visual acuity. These people can set the accessibility preferences as their application default. In addition, you might want to consider testing your tagged Adobe PDF documents with high-contrast viewing to check for any accessibility problems in that regard.
To change Acrobat 5.0 accessibility settings for high-contrast viewing:
- Open the tagged Adobe PDF file in Acrobat 5.0.
- Choose Edit > Preferences > General.
- Select Accessibility from the list of preferences.
- From the Color Scheme menu, choose Use Custom Scheme.
Note: Windows also supports a high-contrast viewing mode. If you've already set up your Windows system for this mode, you can choose Use Windows Colors instead.
- In the Custom Scheme area, set the Text Color to your preferred colors, such as bright green.
- From the Adjust Display of Colors menu, choose Always Overriding Document Colors.
- Set the Page Background Color to a contrasting color, such as black.
- Click OK.
Note: If the file is a tagged Adobe PDF, you can also zoom in on the text to magnify it and click the reflow button in the toolbar. This can make the document easier to read for people with low-vision problems.
