In summary, you can easily change the fill-in color of a PDF file without using Adobe Pro. This can be done by opening the PDF in Adobe Reader, selecting "Edit PDF" from the Tools menu, and then choosing "Edit" from the toolbar. From there, you can click on the desired color in the "Fill Color" option and apply it to the fill-in fields in the PDF. This allows for a quick and simple way to customize the appearance of PDF forms without the need for expensive software.

TL;DR Summary
I need to change the color in a fillable form (from blue to black) opened by Adobe, but every attempt I made just asks me to upgrade to Pro. Internet sites refer me to non-existent options.
I don't have a color printer, so the standard blue used by Adobe for fillable forms don't come out well. Going to Edit>Text , Adobe gives me an ad to upgrade to Pro. Various internet sites tell me to go to form field settings or to Preferences, but I cannot find a path that will get me there. Is it hopeless?

Have you tried changing the printing options to “black and white”?

thanks Frabjous. Such an obvious solution that I did not think of. That works. Therefore problem solved, and thread can be closed.
