  • Print to PDF in dark mode problematic


    Noticed when I’m in dark mode and save a topic to PDF on my iPhone, there is way too much black on the page to ever want to print it. Also, dark mode prevents seeing the text of posts.

    When you say "Print to PDF" are you literally referring to the print option on the browser there?

    Yes. On my iPhone in the Safari, I hit the share button, choose Print, the tap and hold the preview of the pages near the bottom, tap to generate PDF then hit the share button again, and save the PDF to files. 
     

    I think these are the steps I take to save a PDF on my iPhone. Haven’t tried it in other browsers or on my Mac since I almost always use the iPhone when browsing this site.

    As this isnt something developed by ourselves, you would need to report that as a browser bug, rather than a bug with the software

    I think the better way to frame this request is to see how other common sites behave with Print to PDF on dark mode, and to see whether Invision Community meets basic web standards.

    This looks to be limited to Safari on iOS.  It does not happen in Safari on the laptop, nor Chrome on iOS or desktop.  I could not replicate this on Edge or Firefox either.  

    I also tested a dozen other darkmode sites and this happened on iOS on Safari for each of those sites when attempting to print to PDF.  This looks to be a browser issue and not a IPB issue.  All others browsers printed as the normal light mode including IPB sites.

    This is probably due to the Safari on iOS having different browser defaults when in dark mode. I think you could probably fix this with some kind of CSS reset when in print mode.
