How does the Set Page Background Color work?

Set the background colour of every page. Useful for: cream-paper look on novel drafts (#fff8dc), dark-mode reading PDFs (#1f1f1f), themed prints (brand colour). Content sits ON TOP of the colour rectangle so text and images keep their original rendering. Runs in your browser — works on any non-encrypted PDF.

Frequently asked

Maybe not — this tool doesn't invert text colours, only adds a background. For dark mode, run text through a colour-invert step first.
