DimDoc for Firefox de Tristan

DimDoc is a specialized browser extension that instantly transforms blinding white PDF documents into a soothing, eye-friendly dark mode. Designed for researchers, students, and professionals who spend hours reading formal documents, DimDoc bypasses clunky CSS filters to deliver a seamless reading experience tailored for both daytime and nighttime usage.

Whether you are opening PDFs from the web or your local hard drive, DimDoc routes them into a custom viewer, giving you full control over your document's visual presentation.

Key Features

Instant Dark Mode Toggle: Switch document backgrounds and text colors between light and dark themes with a single click from the user-friendly popup.

Seamless Interception: Automatically intercepts and opens both online and local PDF files within DimDoc's custom, distraction-free viewer.

Persistent Settings: Your light/dark preference is securely saved locally to your device and applied automatically the next time you open a PDF.

Full Navigation Tools: Retains all essential PDF features, including scalable zooming, search, and page navigation.

Important Limitations

To ensure the best possible rendering performance, please note the following constraints:

No Scanned PDFs: DimDoc is explicitly built for standard, born-digital text documents (like textbooks, journals, and newsletters). It does not support legacy scanned image documents.

No iFrames: The extension will not intercept or apply dark mode to PDFs embedded inside webpage iframes.

Privacy First

Zero Data Collection: All document parsing and color calculation happen completely locally on your machine. DimDoc does not collect personal data, track your browsing, or transmit document contents to external servers.
