Frequently Asked Questions

1Can I set different colors for different pages?

Currently, the same background color is applied to all pages. For selective coloring, split and process separately.

2Will the background cover existing content?

No. The background is placed behind existing content. Text and images remain fully visible over the color.

3Can I set a transparent background?

Yes. Use the opacity slider to control transparency — from barely visible tinting to a solid opaque background.

4What is this useful for?

Brand-colored document templates, improving readability of light text, creating visual section dividers, and presentation backgrounds.
