Description

Hey,

I'm facing a problem when adding a background color to some documents with pdfbox. I am using the following code to add color do a document:

 

try (PDPageContentStream cs = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page, PDPageContentStream.AppendMode.PREPEND, true, true)) { 
cs.saveGraphicsState();
cs.setGraphicsStateParameters(gs);                                                                       cs.setNonStrokingColor(hexToColor(hexColor));
cs.addRect(0, 0, page.getMediaBox().getWidth(), page.getMediaBox().getHeight()); cs.fill(); 
cs.restoreGraphicsState(); 
}

I've tried adding color in 3 different ways and always get the same problem (see attached documents). I don't know how to fix this and would really appreciate it if someone could help me out or steer me in the right direction. Thank you in advance

 

 

Best regards,

Wilhelm
