FAQ

What happens to photos in the document?

Photos are inverted too, so they look like negatives. Dark mode works well for documents that are mostly text and less well for documents with many photos.

Should I print the dark PDF?

Better not. Dark mode is meant for reading on a screen, and printing black pages uses a lot of ink or toner. Print the original file.
