PDF is tied to printing, you don’t want to waste all your black ink just to “paint” black pages.

Probably you could buy black paper and try to print white letters on it, if something like white ink exists. And even if you could get white ink, you would need some special ink.

If you want just a PDF, then adding some rules to CSS print media should give you black pages.

The issue is not in printing, it is the fact that the user gets flashbanged with a white screen that flashes during the export process.
