I'm trying to generate a pdf with a transparent background for vector graphics and I've tried everything google has suggested, but I still keep getting a white background every time. Filling the page with clear color didn't seem to work, and I couldn't figure out how to set the background of the page. Any thoughts? func draw() -> Data { let metadata = [] let format = UIGraphicsPDFRendererFormat() format.documentInfo = metadata as [String: Any] let pageWidth = 3 * 72.0 let pageHeight = 3 * 72.0 let pageRect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: pageWidth, height: pageHeight) let renderer = UIGraphicsPDFRenderer(bounds: pageRect, format: format) let data = renderer.pdfData { (context) in context.beginPage() let currentContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() currentContext?.setFillColor(UIColor.clear.cgColor) currentContext?.fill(pageRect) let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: pageWidth / 2, y: pageHeight / 2), radius: CGFloat(100), startAngle: CGFloat(0), endAngle: CGFloat(Double.pi * 2), clockwise: true) UIColor.init(cgColor: colors[0].cgColor).setFill(); UIColor.init(cgColor: colors[0].cgColor).setStroke(); circlePath.fill() circlePath.stroke() } let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] do { try data.write(to: URL(fileURLWithPath: "\(documentsPath)/file.pdf")) } catch { print(error) } return data }
