### PDFINVERTER - darken (or lighten) a PDF

PDFInverter (GUI and CLI) will create a new PDF at the specified
location from a source PDF. All colors will be inverted (original shown on left):

Unfortunately page links are not preserved, but this program will darken PDFs making them suitable for night reading.

A 2-3 page PDF will invert very quickly. However a 400 page PDF may take 3-4 minutes.

This project should build on any platform with ImageMagick bindings for Golang. export CGO_CFLAGS_ALLOW='-Xpreprocessor' may need to be executed to run/build.

The GUI is developed with Golang QT bindings:
