How to enable Night Mode in Adobe Acrobat Reader for iPhone and iPad
Night Mode is back to Acrobat by popular demand!
Use Night Mode to invert black and white in low light conditions to reduce eye strain.

Note that Acrobat Night Mode inverts the colors of a PDF document only. The Acrobat UI elements, such as toolbars and menus, remain in light gray color.
If you want the "Dark Mode" that is similar to the one in macOS Mojave for your iPad/iPhone, you can enable iOS Smart Invert.
