| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| TBCM\\\_Auto     | Select the mode of retaining the original colors depending on value of the [IPDFExportParams::Colority](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/parameter-objects/export-parameters/pdfexportparams#colority) property: if it is PCM\\\_KeepColority, the colors of the original are kept; otherwise, the colors are not retained in the output file. |
| TBCM\\\_DontKeep | Do not retain the original text and background color, even if [IPDFExportParams::Colority](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/parameter-objects/export-parameters/pdfexportparams#colority) is set to keep colority.                                                                                                                             |
| TBCM\\\_Keep     | Retain the original text and background color in the output file. The colors will be retained regardless of the [IPDFExportParams::Colority](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/parameter-objects/export-parameters/pdfexportparams#colority) value.                                                                                             |
