Hi,
I'm using this "Replace Document Colors" function and it is great.
However there is a tiny annoying bug about it.
On some documents I have scanned pages with pdf lines drawn on it.
The scanned image itself, doesn't change color, only its background.
Because the images have a transparent background, the black background comes through and I get black on black text.
To detect this, I made my background color slightly brighter (26,26,26) than pure black. So at least I can see the image outline.
When that happens I have to go to all the way to Edit->Preferences->Accessibility->Replace Document Colors to disable the function. That is a lot of steps to performs 3-4 times per day !
Could it be possible to add a keyboard shortcut to turn this function on and off ? (and better yet, could there be a function to force all non-white pixels (including alpha 0 pixels) to turn to the text color ?)
thanks

This Preference/Option does not work at all for scanned documents. I've tested documents scanned from two difference scanners, both into Acrobat. Documents created from Words files or other files in that manner work fine. I think I may have posted a thread on this myself a while ago, but there has been no solution presented thus far. I hope someone is still watching this thread as it is several months old and can possibly help.
My workaround is to scan directly into Photoshop and then invert the colors there. But that created a rasterized image with no ability to edit the text or any of the elements.

Hi!
Many had suggested using the **Edit->Preference->Accessibility** method but sadly it did not work for me.
After testing and playing around PDF setting, I managed to get what I wanted!
- Go to **Print** (<kpd>Ctrl</kpd> + <kpd>P</kpd>)
- Click **Advanced Settings**
- Check **Settings:** Custom
- Click on **Output** from left panel
- Under **Color:** select **Composite Gray**
- Check the **Negate** box
- Click **OK**
This should do the trick! <br/><br>
**Important Note!**<br>
I would suggest printing this file to a PDF than directly. Especially if you intend to print multiple pages in one page as it will result in the whitespace turning black too!
Lastly, if you are going to print the document as another PDF, under **Page Sizing & Handling** , click on **Fit** and check both the boxes - "**Choose paper size when needed**" and **Use custom paper size when needed**.
(To avoid unwanted whitespace)
Hope this help!

Hello,
up to six weeks ago your method worked quite well. Now I have a strange phenomenon: Inverting a PDF with some pages, the first page only will be inverted. I had already all my preferences cleared in the hope that there might be the bug, but that did not help. Does anyone have an idea?
My background: I read and scan/photograph microfilms in white on black ground using the adobe scan app for android. In a second step I have to invert/reverse these scans to black text on white ground as usual. I have no idea why this works no longer since october 2018.
If useful, I can upload such a pdf.
Thanks, Stefan
