Fetch the background color for text in PDF

[Jeffrey Matthew <je...@gmail.com>]

Hey Team,

I'm new to pdfbox and working on it right now.
I wanted to know if we have sample code to fetch the background color for a
text with pdfBox.?
The example provided in :
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/util/PrintTextColors.java?view=markup&pathrev=1904918

didn't work even though the mode is Fill(0).

PDFBox version: 3.0.0

Thanks,
Jeffrey

There is no such a thing as "the background color". The background is 
whatever you have at the area when you're putting out the glyphs. It can 
be several colors if you're overwriting an image.
