Can I change the color of specific words only?

The tool can change text color across entire pages or page ranges. For word-level color changes, you would need a full PDF editor. This tool is designed for bulk color changes like converting all text from black to dark blue for brand consistency.

Will this improve accessibility?

Changing text color can improve or reduce accessibility depending on the contrast with the background. For accessibility, ensure the text color has at least a 4.5:1 contrast ratio with the background color (WCAG AA standard). Dark text on light backgrounds generally provides the best readability.

Does this work with fonts and formatting?

Yes. Only the text color is changed. Font family, size, weight, style, and positioning remain exactly as they were. The visual appearance is identical except for the color.

Can I revert the color change?

The tool produces a new PDF file. Your original file is unchanged since all processing happens locally. Keep the original file if you may need to revert the change.
