NAME¶
setpdfbackground - Apply a background color to a PDF page
SYNOPSIS¶
setpdfbackground [options] file.pdf pagenum color [outfile]
Options:
-o --order preserve the internal PDF ordering for output
-v --verbose print the internal representation of the PDF
-h --help verbose help message
-V --version print CAM::PDF version
The "color" is specified as 3 or 6 character hexadecimal RGB. For
example, "f00" and "ff0000" both mean pure red while 999
and 999999 both mean medium gray.
DESCRIPTION¶
This program alters a PDF document to add a solid background color behind the
page contents.
CAVEATS¶
Some PDF creation programs assume a white background and draw bogus white
rectangles all over the screen that you usually cannot see. If your PDF has
such rectangles, you
can sometimes fix it, but it is a pain. The best
recommendation is to recreate the original PDF using a smarter library, if
possible. Alternatively, you can contact Clotho Advanced Media for a
commercial solution to this problem.
