    Hi iAm_ManCat ,

     

    I tried two versions( 2020 Apr & 2020 Jun). All of them cannot export page background.

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

     

    I can keep using my workaround for now (a page-size label in background with its background color set), it's not ideal but it works for the moment.

     

    Cheers,

I've had the issue of a Black Border on all my exported PDFs and found it was the system background causing the issue. I have the 'Dark' setting for Office. When I changed it to 'Light' for Power BI Desktop. The Black Border stopped appearing in my exported PDFs. 

Hope this helps someone else! This is found in the R: File- Options-Report Settings.

    Just had the same issue. This is a shame, the text on that setting literally says "This setting won't affect the report canvas". But it does affect exports 😕

     

    It's good in one way though, it means thats OP could have managed to get black borders if they still had the issue today
