Juergen,

It is not easily possible as the capture page contains its own SetFillColor and SetTextColor commands.

You would need to manually parse the content stream for the page and change all the color commands from black to red.    You would need to use GetContentStreamToString and SetContentStreamFromString to extract the drawing comments and then you would need to change any '0 0 0 rg' strings to '1 0 0 rg' to change things to red.  There are other commands that would need changing.  This is assuming that the PDF is in RGB format and not CMYK and that it is using true black and so on...  You might get lucky.  

  QP.ReplaceTag( '0 0 0 rg',  '1 0 0 rg');  // might work.  No guarantees.

  QP.ReplaceTag( '0 0 0 RG',  '1 0 0 RG');  // might work.  No guarantees.

Andrew.

Hello Andrew,
 
yep, thats the job I have to do. I get a failure notice as pdf file and have to copy it, as a new frame, into another pdf, but it must be there in red color. Is it not possible to change a seperate content into a different color, like "print as black&white" ?
 
regards

Juergen,

It sounds like you want the existing text inside the CapturePage to be turned to red.  This is not possible.  You can only add RED text to an existing PDF.

Hello Andrew,
 
thx for your answer and sorry for my delayed reply (I was ill).
Using your code I get a red new text - is ok, but my text is still black. I tried it with setfillcolor & settextcolor and got the same results. What can I do?

Juergen,

CapturePage / DrawCapture page will copy the page as is and redraw it as is at a different scale or size.

Setting TextColor / FillColor will not change the existing text in the PDF.   You need to add extra content using DrawText / SetTextColor / SetFillColor.

Can you try the following code on your PDF.  

  QP.LoadFromFile("before.pdf");
  QP.SelectPage(1);
  QP.NormalizePage(0);
  QP.SetTextColor(1, 0, 0);
  QP.AddStandardFont(4);
  QP.SetTextSize(30):
  QP.SetOrigin(1);
  QP.DrawTetxt(72, 72, "Hello World");
  QP.SaveToFile("After.pdf");

Andrew.

Hello,
 
i try to open a existing pdf and write it into a new pdf (DrawCapturedPage) but the textcolor & fillcolor
must be set to RED (because its a failure notice). SetTextColor & SetFillClor makes no changes.
 
Does anybody know, what I'm doing wrong?
 
Regards
 
Jurgen
