About Dark Mode PDF
Dark Mode PDF makes a light document comfortable to read at night by turning white backgrounds dark and dark text light. The default style keeps hues recognizable, so a red highlight stays reddish. 'Full negative' inverts every color like a photo negative.
When it helps
- Reading long papers or ebooks on a tablet in a dark room
- Reducing glare for readers with light sensitivity
- Making a dark version of slides or notes for screen viewing
Tips
- Pages are redrawn as images, so text can't be selected or searched in the dark copy. Keep the original for searching and printing.
- The default 120 DPI keeps files light for screen reading. Raise it if small text looks soft when you zoom in.
- Avoid printing the result. A mostly dark page uses a lot of ink or toner.
