    Hi iAm_ManCat ,

    Thanks for confirming v-eachen-msft - glad to know its not just me.

    Cheers,

    Hi amitchandak 

     

    Unfortunately, neither of those refer to my issue, the first link is aboutdashboards, and the second link is about printing from the browser, whereas I am referring to exporting a report to PDF and losing the Page Background when doing so.

     

    Could you please confirm whether you are experiencing the same issue:

    create a new report, set page background, publish this to the web and then choose export to PDF option  - do you see the page background when exporting?

     

    Many Thanks,

    Sancho
