in reply to setting PDF background color

Run ths first:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use PDF::API2; my $file = 'SavedAttachment.pdf'; my $pdf = PDF::API2->new( -file => $file ); $pdf->mediabox( 595, 842 ); my $page = $pdf->page; my $fnt = $pdf->corefont( 'Arial', -encode => 'latin1' ); my $txt = $page->text; $txt->textstart; $txt->font( $fnt, 8 ); $txt->translate( 25, 630 ); $txt->fillcolor('black'); $txt->text("FullCustName"); $pdf->saveas; exit;
Then try setpdfbackground.pl from the command line:
setpdfbackground.pl -o SavedAttachment.pdf 1 fcd SavedAttachment.pdf
I used fcd because I wanted something neutral and down-to-earth.
