    Which pdf file viewers have you researched? Both okular and qpdfview can invert colors unless the pdf file is composed of images.

This method is only for text only documents. Otherwise the image colors will be inverted.



You can install Evince document viewer from this link and open it.Then goto the options on the top right corner as seen in the picture.



enter image description here



Then select Inverted colors. This will help you to read white text on a black background.
