[PDF_Doc->SetColor] sets the color and style for subsequent drawing operations. A required 'type' parameter specifies whether the drawing action is of type Stroke, Fill, or Both.
The color can be specified as a [PDF_Color] object or as a series of parameters.
If parameters are used then a 'color' parameter specifies a color type of Gray, RGB, or CMYK. If Gray is specified, a decimal value specifies a gray color value. If RGB is specified, three decimal values specifiy red, green and blue values, respectively. If CMYK is specified, four decimal values specifiy cyan, magenta, yellow, and black values, respectively. Color values are specified as decimals ranging from 0 to 1.0.
Note - The color (and line width) must be set before drawing occurs on each new page of the PDF.
