   Hi,

I am using QuickPDF 7.13, and I was curious is there a way to use background color other than white, when rendering PDF.

Thnx in advance.

	Hi! First you should use SetFillColor sample: SetFillColor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5) is grey sample: SetFillColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0) is white Second you should use DrawBox Cheers, Ingo

	Thnx for your reply, Ingo! What I meant is how do I render existing pdf file to the monitor, but instead of white background, I want to use, lets say yellow. Edited by artjaggy - 08 Jun 09 at 2:58AM

	Hi! You don't render on white background. Rendering means transforming complete pdf-pages into an imageformat. If the pdf-page has a yellow background you will see it after rendering, too. If not then not ;-) If you are rendering with less dpi and if your image component or whereever you want to show the render result has yellow background color then you see a yellow background. If not then not ;-) What i want to say is: Rendering has nothing to do with a background color. You can render the pdf bigger or smaller to an image component - what you can do is to set the background color of the image component. If you want to set a frame round your rendered document then i come back to my previous post. Cheers, Ingo
