Most PDF files use black text color on a white background but it would be really helpful to have the option in Goodnotes to invert or change those colors. For example, switch the background color to a dark color (for example, black or gray) and the text color to a bright color (for example, white or yellow). I can do this in some Windows and Android apps but there is currently no iPad PDF annotator that can do this. I love Goodnotes 6 and it is my most-used daily app for all my PDF reading and note-taking, so it would be absolutely fantastic if this feature was finally added! I noticed that this feature was first requested in 2019!
I use my iPad extensive every day, mostly to read PDFs and annotate PDFs using Goodnotes 6. I use it during the day, as well as at night when i go to bed. But the white background on the PDFs is too bright and it hurts the eyes. As a Goodnotes 6 premium user, I have already explored and tested the app settings, including general iPad brightness, colors and the dark mode, but the reading experience is very poor compared to being able to change the PDF page background color and text color, which would be ideal. Please consider this humble request to save our eyesight!!
Here is an interesting read from the National Library of Medicine, "The Effect of Ambient Illumination and Text Color on Visual Fatigue under Negative Polarity". https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11175232/
