  • Apple introduces Dark Mode toggle for PDFs in Preview app on macOS Tahoe, iOS, and iPadOS 26.
  • On macOS, the option is under 'View' menu as 'Use Dark Appearance for PDF'. On iOS/iPadOS, it's under the overflow menu as 'Dark Background'.
  • Implementation is thoughtful—text and graphics are inverted while images remain unchanged, improving readability.
  • Users can add a custom keyboard shortcut for the dark mode toggle in macOS via System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.
  • The feature may reduce reliance on third-party PDF readers like PDF Viewer by PSPDFKit, which previously offered dark mode.
