Review Summary
PDF Color Inverter is praised for effectively inverting colors in PDFs to reduce eye strain and works well when users enable file URL access. It also inverts images, which users appreciate. However, the extension only visually inverts colors in Chrome without modifying or saving PDFs, making printing or downloading inverted files impossible. It struggles with secured PDFs, highlights color inversion, and sometimes fails with large or offline PDFs. Overall, it is useful primarily for on-screen reading of accessible PDFs but has limitations users should be aware of.
Pros
- Effectively inverts colors in PDF documents making reading easier on the eyes.
- Easy to use once instructions are followed, including allowing access to file URLs.
- Successfully inverts images within PDFs as well as text.
- Helpful for reading long documents or documentation, reducing eye strain.
- Works well for freely accessible PDF files from the internet.
Cons
- Does not modify or save the PDF file itself; only visually inverts colors via an overlay in Chrome.
- Does not allow downloading or printing of the PDF with inverted colors, limiting usefulness beyond on-screen reading.
- May not work with secured or login-protected PDFs due to access restrictions.
- Also inverts unwanted areas like highlights and parts of the browser interface around the PDF.
- Fails to work with large PDFs or some offline documents as reported by multiple users.
