Twelve Days of CADD Care | Day Five: Bring PDFs to the Dark Side

December 9th, 2024

On the fifth day of CADD Care, my CADD team gave to me… a less painful way to look at PDFs.

We all know that PDFs are designed to represent printed document without the need for proprietary software. Therefore, PDFs have historically been shown with a white background, representing the white paper. White screens emit significantly more light and therefore exposes your eyes to more direct visible light, not to mention requires more energy.

In response to the continued requests, Bluebeam added a new feature to the Navigation Bar named “Dark Mode” to Revu 21.3. This tool inverts the typical white background to be black, and any black lines and text become white. This is just a graphical change and does not actually modify the document in anyway.
