    Hi,

    I didnt help. I went through other forums and as I understand, MS do not support printing the reports. So I gave up. I take it as Power BI reports are not printable, when background image or other graphics is used.

     

    Cheers

Hi
If you select Fitt instead of Fill then it should work, Fitt is the only setting that fixes the problem.
I'm running the March 2020 update and it works for me.

Thanks for your response.

 

Yes, "FIT" woks for me too but it stretches the image vertically and doesn't print PDF with original image dimension.

 

Is this happening with you too ?

    Hi naeembaig,
    I create all my backgrounds in PowerPoint with 16:9 ratio and save it as PNG and use that as background. When I choose Fitt in Power Bi I get a small stretch in the vertical direction but it has been close enough for me.

    Hope this will help you.
