How can I get black background in a DWF

I'm using A2Ki on Win NT4 with SP5. I'm not able to get black background in MS Internet Explorer showing dwf files. I have tried both "DWF Classic" or "DWF ePlot" from A2Ki. I have installed the last Volo View Express version. Any comment is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Freddy.

plot from a .pc3 file. File/Plotter Manager and
double click on Add a Plotter. When you get to the "Add a Plotter - Finish"
dialog there is an Edit Plotter Configuration button...hit it, then select
Custom Properties then hit the Custom Properties button. There will be a
"Background color shown in viewer" option. Select your desired background color.
Need more info just holler 🙂

hmmm, I plot all of my .dwf's from PS which has a
white background and they view with a black background. Only other suggestion
that I have is to temporarily change your PS background to black while creating
.dwf files...

sorry, it's all I've got 🙂

We have tried to change the background color in AutoCAD too without any luck. I wonder, have you installed the latest version of Volo View Express or have you installed the WHIP plugin?

For your information, Volo (unlike WHIP) ignores
DWF background setting and uses its own.  You can change general Volo
background color in menu Tools->Options and it will show all DWF files with
the black background in IE.
