How can I add page background color of pdf using iText in java

Question

I am new to iText pdf library. Can any one guide me how to add background color to entire page (not for chunk or paragraph) using iText pdf in java.

Answer 1

This code will do the job:

Rectangle pageSize = new Rectangle(216, 720);
pageSize.setBackgroundColor(new BaseColor(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xDE));
Document document = new Document(pageSize);
