iPad too bright for reading

[treta]

When I read a book in pdf the ipad is too bright which makes reading nearly impossible.
Is there any app that simulates or become less bright the ipad?

Thanks

What app are you using?

If you are reading in the iBooks app you can change the brightness by tapping on the AA icon. Most other app optimized for reading will have similar brightness controls, as well as themes like sepia or night mode.

Edit: When viewing a PDF in iBooks, it's a little sun icon. My mistake.

Failing that, you can always go to Settings > Display & Brightness to turn it down. If it Auto-Brightness is turned on the iPad will adjust to some extent, depending on how much light is detects in it's surroundings. That smaller dot next tot he front camera is a light sensor.

For quicker access, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen for the Control Center. It has a brightness control slider. Control center may not be available in an open app. If it isn't you can turn it on in Settings > Control Center.

In the Kindle app, you see the same sun icon to adjust screen brightness. It's also at the top right.

You might also try inverting colors. In Settings > General > Accessibility, the last item is Accessibility Shortcut. Set the triple-click to Invert Colors. Then, triple-clicking the Home button will present white on black, which you may find easier to read.

I use PDFreader.

I'll try all - I guess the best is something like sepia. I must look for a app with this option.

If you know a app with this option I apretiate.

Thanks a lot

The Kindle app has a sepia option.

Sepia is not available for PDF files.

You're right, I just checked.

PDF Expert has a sepia mode that works with PDF files.

It's more about annotation and basic editing, but it makes a decent PDF reader as well.

@treta
Look at this app:
PerfectReader Classic - Beautiful PDF Reader with Unique Text Reflow, Sepia/Night/Daytime reading modes
https://appsto.re/us/IheLz.i

Maybe that's what you need. This is the free version. There's a paid one as well.

I went through the settings and user guide in my PDF Expert app and found no mention of a sepia mode. How do you activate it?

Saving a thousand words, minus six.

Edit: I had not noticed the Text to Speach option before. Nice, and it seemed to work well in the one quick test I made.

I don't get that option, maybe I have a different PDF Expert app. Yours may be the iPad version, this is the iPhone version. Here's a screenshot from mine.

I found this app, is it the one you use? https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/pdf-expert-5-fill-forms-annotate/id743974925?mt=8

I use the Kindle app to read books and there is a sepia option, and also a white text on black background which is very easy on the eye.
