Hi,

I need to create PDF's with a transparant background. This way I can easy add a letterhead with an drag and drop app I use. I tried to hack the css file in the @media:print section. Though I could change the background into a different solid color, I couldn't make it transparant. I tried different css values like rbga(), none and transparant.

Is there a way to make the background transparant in stead of white?

Thanks,
Pim Snel

   I'm not certain it's possible with the WebKit print system, but I'll see
   if I can find a preference for it.

   I found the solution!
   [self.webView setDrawsBackground:NO];

   When using this, it completely respects transparency.

   It would be great to have this as an option at least.
   Thanks,
   Pim

   I believe I adjusted that already in the last update. If not, it will be in the next.
