Paginated Report Background image
Hey there,
I'm trying to do something very simple. I have a blank report, I am just trying to apply a background image to it and export it to Word. The image that I use as a background is embbeded.
It works fine when I export the report to PDF. However when I try to export it to Word it does not work.
How can we use a background image in a report and export it to Word ?
thanks in advance for your help
Hi diouckdiouck,
As far as I am aware that is a limitation of the Word export feature, see the last sentence of the below article:
Newsletter-style column reports are not rendered in Word. Report body and page background images and colors are not rendered.
As a workaround you could for example convert it via a Power Automate cloud flow. Encodian has a action for that:
