About PDF Background Color
PDF Background Color gives your pages a colored background. Pick a color and the tool places it behind the content of your pages. Your text and images stay on top and remain easy to read. The change happens in your browser, so your file is never uploaded to a server.
A soft cream or light green page can be easier on the eyes when you read notes for a long time. You can also use color to make a flyer, menu, invitation or certificate look more finished, or to tell different sections or copies of a document apart.
