Applies to: dtSearch Desktop, dtSearch Web

dtSearch uses Adobe Reader to highlight hits in PDF files, and Adobe Reader does not provide an option to change the highlight color.

dtSearch Web

When a user searches PDF files in dtSearch Web, the user's own Windows color settings will determine how hits are highlighted. Therefore, there is no way for the web site to change this setting. Instead, each user can follow the procedure above to change the hit highlight color.
