Documentation
Match the PDF viewer to the look of your site. Two built-in themes are available: Light (default) keeps the page background white for maximum legibility, and Dark swaps the chrome (toolbar, sidebar, background) to a dark surface — handy when the embed sits inside a dark page. Try the toggle above to preview each combination.

Frequently asked questions
The two built-in themes cover most light/dark needs. For a fully branded experience you can set a custom primary_color in the embed URL or define a workspace-level theme in the Videas dashboard, which the viewer inherits.
Yes. Both themes follow WCAG AA contrast ratios on the chrome elements (toolbar text, controls). The page content keeps its original contrast so a viewer with specific accessibility needs should rely on browser-level inversion or the Windows / macOS system dark mode rather than the viewer theme.
