You can not change it yet.
But this can be very useful feature.
So I made FeatureRequest to Debenu Team

Marco,

Are you just wanting to change the background colour outside of the PDF page in the Viewer control ?

Andrew.

In the meantime (while waiting for a response from Marco)
For me, it would be useful ability to change the background that appears before you open the PDF file.

btw.
Some time ago, I reported the need for functionality (FeatureRequest) to close an opened file in order to return to the initial state.

EDIT:

As an example the situation:

program that uses Viewer is based on pastel colors blue and green.

Why then the Viewer must be gray ?

Hi Marco,

In the latest version you can easily change the background color of the Viewer control. It is in the Properties list: BackgroundColor.

You can also change it with this simple sample C# code:

axDPVActiveX1.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
axDPVActiveX1.Refresh();

Using VB.NET, I've:

AxDPVActiveX1.DQPLSetFormFieldBackgroundColor

but not:

AxDPVActiveX1.BackgroundColor

hmm..

I just get answer to my request...

It looks like in last update was added such feature.

from Debenu PDF Viewer SDK Quick Start Guide.pdf

OLE_COLOR BackgroundColor

This property is used to change the background of document view area. It accepts standard

COLORREF format 0x00RRGGBB.

btw.

check for updates here:

http://www.debenu.com/products/development/debenu-pdf-viewer-sdk/updates/

EDIT:

sample code:

axDPVActiveX1.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
axDPVActiveX1.Refresh()
