PDF export ignores background color

Hi all

 

We added a dark theme to our reports. The background color is now a dark grey.

When a user exports the report as pdf, the background is white, and therefore all labels that are white (on grey) are now invisible.

 

In the properties of the page i set the color in "Background", not "Page Background". Does this make a difference? Changing the color in "Page Background" does not have any effect for me.

 

Regards

I have test on my side, it works well.

and there is a PDF export issue has just been fixed by engineers too.

Please test again after 12/18 to see if the same issue occurs.

I have this same issue - backgrounds, no matter the colour or transparency are not being exported as part of the PDF, so all white labels become invisible.

 

Is there any update from the Team about when this will be working again?

 

Thanks,

Sancho
