I never understood why Elecraft put out the PDF file as white text on a
black background in the first place. It can't be printed, and if you
have to read it online the html version makes more sense. It just seems
lazy to me for them not to have converted it on their end.

I can make the manual (K4 Built-In Operating Manual, rev C9.pdf) look
the way I want on the screen (black text on a white background with
images rendered in correct colors) in Adobe Reader by selecting:
Edit > Preferences > Accessibility
and then:
select "Replace Document Colors"
select "Use High-contrast colors"
unselect "Only change the color of black text or line art."
unselect "Change the color of line art as well as text."
select "High-contrast color combination:" = "Black text on white".
However, although it looks correct on the screen, when I print it it
still comes out with the black background.
I'm just using the free version of Adobe Reader. Perhaps someone with
a paid-up version can get it to print correctly (print to a printer or
print to another PDF file).

In addition to the .html version, we're now providing a .pdf, as
requested.
NOTE: The operating manual has a black background, consistent with
the color scheme used for all text boxes on the K4's LCD. Obviously,
printing a hard copy wouldn't be advised, as you would consume the
entire ink supply at your local Office Depot. It cannot be easily
converted to a white background given all of the text styles used, so
this isn't likely to happen in the short term.
