Hi,

Please provide a sample code for setting up back color for the document. I saw code to set up the same for cells. But need to set up for the whole document.

Thank you,

Ali

 

Hi

 

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately there is no direct method to set background color of the whole document. But I think that you can use the following code as a workaround.

 

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);

Shape background = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle);

background.Width = builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.PageWidth;

background.Height = builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.PageHeight;

background.BehindText = true;

background.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;

background.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;

background.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;

background.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

background.FillColor = Color.Red;

builder.CurrentParagraph.AppendChild(background);

doc.Save(@"Test274\out.doc");

 

This code inserts filled rectangle behind document content.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards.

Hi Alexey,

Just a small add on this issue, no need to reply on.
By "setting page color support" I didn't want to refer on the possibility of setting color for every single page. I wanted to refer on setting a background color for the entire document.

Regards,
Milan

Hi

 

Thanks for your request. Yes, issue #3911 means exactly what you need – setting background color of entire document.

 

Best regards.
