Colors
The DynamicPDF API supports adding color to your PDF documents. Designer's layout elements use the color property to format your report's elements.Several Designer layout elements support the color property. The color value can be a valid:
- HTML or CSS color like
aliceBlueorred, - hexadecimal color such as
#FF0080, - RGB color with a RGB value, for example
rgb(1,0,0), - CMYK - Specified with C, M, Y, and K color values, or
- a grayscale color like
gray(0.5).
When converting an RGB font, Designer only supports values between 0 and 1. To convert, simply divide by 255 for all three values. For example, rgb(255,0,0), or red, becomes rgb(1,0,0).
Incorrect color values result in an error message.
Designer supports expressions in an element's color or textColor property. For example if a Symbol element's color property had the following expression IF(LTE(num,0),"red",LT(num,10),"yellow", "green"), then the element's color would be red, yellow, or green, depending on the value in the num field. Refer to following documentation Functions (Fonts and Colors).
