How to change the background color of the pdf?

I can set the color of the document, header and footer but I'd like to also style the background color of the full page.

The PDF viewer stylesheet sets the background color to white with this:
.pdfViewer .page{background-color: white}

You can try to overwrite it with this:
.pdfViewer .page{background-color: #ff0000!important}

Of course this is not the best way to achieve this, and I know, we should not overwrite something if we can avoid it, but the white color in the viewer is generated by the viewer, not by the template. Therefore, this solution should to it until the feature is added.

is there a solution for this? i don't think the above workaround works.

any info on how to work around this from anyone at ia writer, @onebigclownshoe?

Sorry about the late response! Unfortunately, due to the way templates are rendered it’s not currently possible to set a background color. We’ll keep this feature in mind as we improve templates in iA Writer.
