Hmm... 1. java.awt.Color.decode(colorStr); 2. You're using integer division "rgb.getRed()/255" will yield 0 or 1, which is then cast to float. Use "getRed()/255f" to get a float result.
Your integer division code will only yield a red colour with #FF8000, which I suspect gets superimposed on a white background (with alpha, dithering, blurring, whatever) and ends up being pinkish. Also the Color step is totally unnecessary: int c = Integer.parseInt(colorStr.substring(1), 16); float r = ((c & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255f; float g = ((c & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255f; float b = ((c & 0x0000FF) >> 0) / 255f; // The ">> 0" can be omitted PDColor pdc = new PDColor( new float[] { r, g, b }, PDDeviceRGB.INSTANCE); 2017-03-13 12:27 GMT+02:00 chitgoks <chitg...@gmail.com>: > hi again > > a little assistance regarding converting hex to PDColor. > > please take this example #ff8000 > > and this is my code > > String colorStr = "#ff8000"; > java.awt.Color rgb = new java.awt.Color( > Integer.valueOf(colorStr.substring(1, 3), 16), > Integer.valueOf(colorStr.substring(3, 5), 16), > Integer.valueOf(colorStr.substring(5, 7), 16)) > > PDColor pdcolor = new PDColor(new float[] { rgb.getRed() / 255, > rgb.getGreen() / 255, rgb.getBlue() / 255}, PDDeviceRGB.INSTANCE); > > the result is pink-ish (the wrong color), instead of orange-ish (the > correct color). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
