As a side note, Evince has a simple built-in "inverse colors" option that you can
find in the view menu. This option can be added it to the toolbar and you have
a default keyboard shortcut/accelerator avalaible, "Ctrl + I" by default in 
English, that you can change. The inverse color option is "remembered" by
Evince in a document by document basis.
