7.2 Assign Uniform Color to All Elements
Print2CAD allows the user to assign a uniform color to all converted elements.
7.3 Color Palette of the DWG or DXF Files
Print2CAD allows the user to assign the RGB values of the colors used in a PDF into the
resulting DWG or DXF elements.
Important!
The color Black in a PDF is converted into the color White in RGB. The color White
in a PDF is converted into the color White in RGB.
It is possible you are working on a white background with white elements if your
converted le doesn‘t show any detail on the screen.
White on white will neither plot nor print.
Our suggestion for a solution is simply activate the option “Assign 10 Index Colors”
before converting your le.
Denition of RGB color space:
“An RGB color space is any additive color space based on the RGB color model. A par-
ticular RGB color space is dened by the three chromaticities of the red, green, and blue
additive primaries, and can produce any chromaticity that is the triangle dened by those
primary colors. The complete specication of an RGB color space also requires a white
point chromaticity and a gamma correction curve. RGB is an acronym for Red, Green,
Blue. An RGB color space can be easily understood by thinking of it as “all possible
colors” that can be made from three colourants for red, green and blue. Imagine, for ex-
ample, shining three lights together onto a white wall: one red light, one green light, and
one blue light, each with dimmer switches. If only the red light is on, the wall will look
red. If only the green light is on, the wall will look green. If the red and green lights are
on together, the wall will look yellow. Dim the red light some and the wall will become
more of a yellow-green. Dim the green light instead, and the wall will become more or-
ange. Bringing up the blue light a bit will cause the orange to become less saturated and
more whitish. In all, each setting of the three dimmer switches will produce a different
result, either in color or in brightness or both. (...)”
