Change backgroundcolor of PushButton (hyperref package)












4















I would like to create a pushbutton and change its background color. Is this feasible ? And how ?



Here's my MWE:



documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
usepackage{xcolor}
usepackage{hyperref}

begin{document}
begin{Form}

PushButton[
name=additem,
borderwidth=0.5pt,
bordercolor=blue,
backgroundcolor=red % why doesn't this work ?
]{textcolor{blue}{Add an item}}

end{Form}
end{document}


Add an item PushButton

          hyperref doesn't contain code to set the background color here. It is theoretically possible to add it, but it has the side effect to overwrite the text on the button. I would suggest to use a colorbox instead:



          documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
          usepackage{xcolor}
          usepackage{hyperref}
          usepackage{etoolbox}
          begin{document}
          begin{Form}

          { % not so good ...
          makeatletter
          patchcmdPDFForm@Push{/BC[Fld@bordercolor]}{/BC[Fld@bordercolor]/BG[Fld@bcolor]}{}{fail}
          PushButton[
          name=additem,
          borderwidth=0.5pt,
          bordercolor=blue,
          backgroundcolor=red,
          ]{textcolor{blue}{strut Add an item}}
          }

          bigskip

          fboxsep=0pt
          colorbox{red}{%
          PushButton[
          name=additem,
          borderwidth=0.5pt,
          bordercolor=blue,
          ]{textcolor{blue}{strut Add an item}}}
