    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.

Hi @iAm_ManCat,

 

just had the same issue.

 

There are two ways to set an image in the presentation - Canvas background and Wallpaper. First I had it set in Wallpaper and PDF was coming up blank. I set it now on Canvas background with transparency set at 0% and it is solved.

 

PDF now comes with the expected background image.

 

Hope it helps.

 

Regards

I've tested this with a few different configurations and it does not work. At least for the current version of Power BI, there are only two choices for the pdf border which is white or black, based on whether you are using the light or dark theme
