I would like to thank you; you created the best PDF reader that exists, by allowing the user to choose the background and text color! Congratulations!

Thanks for the great update. One detail that I wish would be different or the way it used to be: when selecting a source in the input dialog in word, usually when you typed in a number it would automatically be added to the source. now I have to manually click on the source and tip it in. three clicks more… thanks for adjusting that detail.
