Cannot create a colored text background in a PDF

[Roland]

block.GraphicProperties.IsFilled = true;
 block.GraphicProperties.FillColor = color;

 

does not seem to do anything.

 

block.BackgroundColor = color;

 

only colors the line, not the entire rectangle of the block.

I resolved it by useing the editor instead:

    public static void DrawRect(this FixedContentEditor editor, Size size, ColorBase color)
    {
      editor.SaveGraphicProperties();
      editor.GraphicProperties.IsFilled = true;
      editor.GraphicProperties.FillColor = color;
      editor.GraphicProperties.IsStroked = false;
      editor.DrawRectangle(new Rect(0, 0, size.Width, size.Height));
      editor.RestoreGraphicProperties();
    }

Hi Roland,

You can use TextProperties.HighlightColor as well. Here is an example: 

Block block = new Block();
block.TextProperties.HighlightColor = new RgbColor(255, 0, 0);         
block.InsertText("Test");

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

block.TextProperties.HighlightColor does work indeed
