NAME

       setpdfbackground.pl - Apply a background color to a PDF page


SYNOPSIS

        setpdfbackground.pl [options] file.pdf pagenum color [outfile]

        Options:
          -o --order          preserve the internal PDF ordering for output
          -v --verbose        print the internal representation of the PDF
          -h --help           verbose help message
          -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

       The "color" is specified as 3 or 6 character hexadecimal RGB.  For
       example, "f00" and "ff0000" both mean pure red while 999 and 999999
       both mean medium gray.


DESCRIPTION

       This program alters a PDF document to add a solid background color
       behind the page contents.


CAVEATS

       Some PDF creation programs assume a white background and draw bogus
       white rectangles all over the screen that you usually cannot see.  If
       your PDF has such rectangles, you can sometimes fix it, but it is a
       pain.  The best recommendation is to recreate the original PDF using a
       smarter library, if possible.  Alternatively, you can contact Clotho
       Advanced Media for a commercial solution to this problem.
