PDF is one of the most frequently used document types, as well as the preferred document used in business. At work, we often have the need to modify the text content of PDF, convert the format (such as converting PDF to Word, converting PDF to Excel, etc.) and merge PDFs, so as to achieve a better working effect.
When editing PDF files, however, people often find the full black text dreary and distracting. In this case, changing the font color tends to be an easy and effective option. Here I'd like to offer you some reliable methods of customizing PDF text color as you want.

Unfortunately, without the help of the right tools, people often find it tricky to change PDF font colors. In this case, choosing a professional PDF editor will help you solve the problem in a breeze. As an expert in this field, Cisdem PDFMaster is the best choice for PDF editing because it is cost-effective, easy-to-use and powerful.
It allows you to edit and comment text content in your PDF file directly. To be specific, you can add new texts to anywhere you like in your PDF, for example, it supports adding a sticky note, a type writer, a callout and a text field. You can also modify the PDF texts, such as setting font style, size, color or alignment, just like you work with Word.
However, there exists slight difference between text color modification for the main body and text box. Therefore, I will demonstrate both modifications for you.
And now, without further ado, follow me through the steps below to learn how to use it to change text color in PDF first.
Step 1. Download Cisdem PDFMaster

Step 2. Import the PDF File
Launch Cisdem PDFMaster on your computer, and click Open Files on the home screen. Choose the PDF file from your computer and open it.
Step 3. Enter the Editing Mode
Click the Edit PDF option on the top menu bar to enter the editing mode. Click any area within the blue border so that you will be allowed to select the text to edit. 
Step 4. Change the Color of Text in PDF
Drag your mouse to select the text you want to change, choose your desired color on the right-side panel. Also, you can click More to customize the color at will.
Once the color is selected, click OK.
Step 5. Save the Edited File
Once done, save the edited file on your computer by clicking Save icon.
In some cases, you may need to add text, comments, notes, or annotations to a PDF file. In this case, adding a text box makes them easy, which is much more flexible than the fixed text. When you need to edit some PDF forms, you can also add text fields to fill in the information. To make your text stand out and draw your attention, making some changes to the text in the text box will be of great help, such as changing the font color.
So, how to change font color in the text box by using Cisdem PDFMaster?
For one thing, if you're just inserting a piece of text into a PDF, like a type writer or callout, its font changes are much the same as the font changes in the body.
Just enter the editing mode, double-click the text to start modifying, and select the color you want on the right-side panel.
This method works for both a newly created text box in program and an existing text box.
For another, when you don't have an editor and can't edit PDF forms directly, you can fill in the information by adding text fields. In Cisdem PDFMaster, you can not only edit the text in the text field at will, but also modify its formatting, such as changing font color, size, and background color. And the detailed steps of the whole process are shown below.
For those of you who complain that your computer doesn't have enough memory, or that downloading and installing software takes too long time, you can also try an online PDF editor. All you need is an Internet connection, and you can edit PDF documents anytime in your browser, saving a lot of time and space.
Through a Google search, I picked a well-reviewed and user-friendly online PDF editor from the top list—Sedja. It is a versatile editor that not only allows you to edit and sign PDF files for free, but also to change PDF text and edit existing PDF files. Best of all, none of the edited files will be watermarked, which means you can use them directly.
Some disadvantages should also be taken into account, like:
Here, I'll just show you how to change the color of text in PDF. Expand the Color drop-down menu and pick your desired color from the palette. 
Yes, you can change font color in Adobe Reader with some restrictions. Adobe Reader is an excellent PDF file reading software developed by Adobe. It can be used to view and print PDF files for free. However, it does not support editing PDF. Text color changes can only be made within Adobe Reader, and the edited file cannot be saved to the computer. Here are the steps to change font color in program.
This article provides many ways to change the color of PDF text, both online and offline. It's up to you to try each of them out.
