Attention conservation notice: This is a fix for a very niche problem. Unless your printer is eating certain character from your print job, you had best move on. The punchline is: flatten the PDF.
The printer at work, a Ricoh IM C6500, doesn’t get along well with me.
Sometimes, when printing a PDF it will garble the output and omit a lot of symbols.
It drops math symbols and particular kernings, in particular ff.
This makes it di icult to read papers.

Recently, I wanted to read a scanned PDF on my Kobo. The white-on-black PDF was quite “bright” for my tastes as I usually read at night. The Kobo supports dark mode for epubs but it doesn’t seem to have a means of inverting the colour of PDFs natively. Moreover, I like to read things as amber-on-black. A bit of vibe-coding and fiddling around yielded the following terrible script to make a PDF “amber on black.”
