Will new revision pages automatically be reflected in page color?

Blue pages, pink pages, green pages. Gotta love 'em.

If you're used to having piles of colored pages to sift through, you might want your digital documents to look the same.

As of v5.1.0, Scriptation can automatically color your new pages for you! This can be done by turning on the Revision Colors info layer. For the Revision Colors info layer to automatically detect the the color for each page, the color must included in the center header of each page and must be one of the colors from the WGA's revision color wheel:

White — unrevised; also known as the "Production Draft"
Blue
Pink
Yellow
Green
Goldenrod
Buff
Salmon
Cherry
Second Blue Revision
Second Pink Revision, and so on…

Embedding Revision Colors without Info Layers

However, if you want the script revision color to be embedded directly into the PDF from your screenwriting software.

In Final Draft (or whichever script processor you use) there should be an option to output the PDF or the print job to show Page Colors. When this option is taken, the pages will be colored in Scriptation the same way they are in the original script.

In Final Draft's Print window, be sure to check the box for Page Color:

If you're using a different screenwriting program, please check their documentation for this output option.
