Description

Checks whether a page is a color page or if all graphic elements of the page use black & white only.
If the parameter GrayIsColor is true, gray shades are treated as color. The page which should be checked must be opened with the function DynaPDF.EditPage beforehand.
Complex color spaces such as Lab, Separation, DeviceN, Colored Tiling Patterns, and Shadings are always treated as color. The function does not return when a color is set, the color must be used by an object.
If an object of the page uses a color, the return value is 1. If no object uses a color the return value is 0.

See also IsColorPage function in DynaPDF manual.
