Hi, it's possible to render a pdf over a colored background using DIB.drawbitmap.
I try to use new function MulAlpha(), but it seem not work.
Many thanks in advance
Marco

Hi,
have you tried this code before rendering?
If you don't solve it with the above code, can you please send us the code you are using to render your pdf?

MulAlpha() is useful to put transparent images on the PDF as an overlay.
For more info check this: www.radaeepdf.com/support/knowledge-base...component&kbartid=24

"MulAlpha() :
when display Bitmap object, adjust color value as: R = R * alpha / 255; G = G * alpha / 255; B = B * alpha / 255; for Bitmap all alpha is 0 or all alpha is 255, this method can be ignored to invoke."

Hi Davide, I have already reply to you on the dedicated ticket. I duplicate here my answer.
I have tried the solution of erasecolor, but it doesn't work.
This is the piece of code that we use for render pdf:
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postScale(width / pageBounds.width(), height / pageBounds.height());
matrix.postTranslate(pageSliceBounds.left * width, pageSliceBounds.top * height);
matrix.postScale(1 / pageSliceBounds.width(), 1 / pageSliceBounds.height());

final float[] matrixSource = new float[9];
matrix.getValues(matrixSource);

DIB dib = new DIB();
dib.CreateOrResize(width, height);


float ty = (float) Math.floor(actualHeight * matrixSource[4] - matrixSource[5]);//+1;
com.radaee.pdf.Matrix mat = new com.radaee.pdf.Matrix(matrixSource[0], -matrixSource[4], -matrixSource[2]-0, ty);

RenderPrePare(dib);
Render(dib, mat);
mat.Destroy();

Bitmap bitmap= Bitmap.createBitmap( width, height, Config.ARGB_8888);
bitmap.eraseColor(0xFF0000FF); // try with any color

BMP bmp = new BMP();
bmp.Create(bitmap);

dib.DrawToBmp(bmp, 0, 0);

bmp.Free(bitmap);
dib.Free();

Many thanks.

hi that, RenderPrePare erase white to DIB.
so, u have to use Page.RenderToBMP() on Bitmap with background.

It works like a charm.
Great library, great support.
Many thanks.
