Change color to hex values in javascript

[amandad98552352]

Hi there,

I am using this script within my custom keystroke script:

// Custom Keystroke script for dropdown

(function () {

    if (!event.willCommit) {

        exp_val = event.changeEx;

        // Get a reference to the text field

        var f = getField("DD39");

        // Set the stroke color of the text field based on the dropdown selection

        switch (exp_val) {

        case "0" :

            f.fillColor = color.green;

            break;

        case "1" :

            f.fillColor = color.blue;

            break;

        case "2" :

            f.fillColor = color.yellow;

            break;

        case "3" :

            f.fillColor = color.red;

            break;

        default :

            f.fillColor = color.white;

            break;

        }

    }

})();

However I would really like to use custom color values, rather than the defaults. What is the syntax? I've tried a few things but nothing works.

Thanks

Amanda

You should read up about the color object in the Acrobat JS Reference, but basically it's an array with the color space followed by the values, represented by a number from 0 to 1.

For example:

["RGB", 0, 1, 1]

or

["CMYK", 0.14, 0.23, 0, 1]

Converting colors to 0-1 is easy for CMYK but not for RGB.

You can use the real RGB values instead : ["RGB", 128/255, 167/255, 99/255]
