I can make the manual (K4 Built-In Operating Manual, rev C9.pdf) look 
the way I want on the screen (black text on a white background with 
images rendered in correct colors) in Adobe Reader by selecting:

Edit > Preferences > Accessibility

and then:

select "Replace Document Colors"
select "Use High-contrast colors"
unselect "Only change the color of black text or line art."
unselect "Change the color of line art as well as text."
select "High-contrast color combination:" = "Black text on white".

However, although it looks correct on the screen, when I print it it 
still comes out with the black background.

I'm just using the free version of Adobe Reader.  Perhaps someone with a 
paid-up version can get it to print correctly (print to a printer or 
print to another PDF file).

Obviously, printing a hard copy wouldn't be advised, as you would consume the entire ink supply at your local Office Depot. It cannot be easily converted to a white background given all of the text styles used, so this isn't likely to happen in the short term.
