Stylize PDFs using Adobe Express design tools
Last updated on
Sep 9, 2026
Learn how to enhance the look of your PDFs by applying Adobe Express design tools in Acrobat on web.
In Adobe Acrobat, you can stylize a PDF using Adobe Express design tools and with Adobe Express templates. With Adobe Express design tools, you can refresh the look of your PDF by adding shapes and icons, applying color themes, and updating backgrounds. If you are signed in with an Individual or Teams plan in Acrobat, and your document is in English, has fewer than 15 pages, and isn’t scanned or password-protected, you can also stylize a PDF using Adobe Express templates.
Follow the steps below to stylize your PDF using Adobe Express design tools:
Select Stylize this PDF under DESIGN WITH ADOBE EXPRESS.
Your PDF opens in Adobe Express in a new browser tab.
Use the following shortcuts from the right pop-up menu to enhance the PDF:
- Add shapes and icons: Insert geometric shapes or pre-designed icons to enhance your layout.
- Resize page: Adjust the dimensions of your PDF pages to fit different formats or requirements.
- Apply color theme: Choose from pre-set color palettes to give your PDF a cohesive look.
- Add Adobe Stock images: Browse and insert high-quality stock photos to illustrate your content.
- Change background color: Modify the background color of your PDF pages for better visual appeal.
- Get font recommendations: Receive suggestions for fonts that complement your existing text styles.
Note
Your changes are saved automatically to the Adobe Express file, and your original PDF in Acrobat remains unchanged.
