Hexadecimal codes

Admins and Designers can use hexadecimal codes to apply brand colors to their PDF designs to strengthen brand recognition and awareness.

A hexadecimal code identifies a color with six characters. For example, white is #ffffff, and GoCanvas blue is #039de7.

Use a free browser extension such as Eye Dropper for Chrome to find the hexadecimal code of a color on a web page, such as a color in your company logo.

To apply a color, copy its code from the modal and paste it into the Background Color or Text Color field in the PDF Designer settings.

Use a hexadecimal code

To use the code captured by the eyedropper tool:

1. On the right side of the Forms page, in line with the PDF you wish to edit, click Edit PDF.
2. On the PDF design, select the area you wish to add the color.
3. In the left panel, in Column, Field, or Element Settings, highlight and enter the hexadecimal code to the Background Color or Text Color field, including the #.
4. In the upper-right corner of the PDF Designer, click Save.
