This is not working for pdf reader in Microsoft Edge.

It's good. Can you see if you can make the background of pdf little more grayish. That would be more helpful. And pdf is little too much dark, I think inversion something is used to do this, but that inversion is making some color gets too bright which is again bugging the eyes. See if you fix that.
