I could but..

[Gagnon et Thibeault]

Hi Val and Stuart,

    Val, you mention that the document is black on white for sighted people 
looking at the PDF. When I get it, I read it black on white.  How to change 
white on black?    For example, the document is black on white for sighted 
people looking at the MS Word.  When I get it, I read it white on black. I 
mean that I don't need to change a color screen. The computer already 
switches from black on white to white on black ( MS word). But, the computer 
cannot automatically switch from black on white to white on black (PDF 
document).

    Hand waving

    André
