It's no problem to display on PC, but when I print out as a PDF, the backgroud is pure white again.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>Re: how to prints the Background</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/51371?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:39:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:5cf1c0cb-e788-4bcd-9e0a-7c0a8d9d737a</guid><dc:creator>Andrew Edge</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;
This is designed behavior.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
View background images do not print.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Both the image&amp;nbsp;resolution and design placement are inadequate for the purposes of printing.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Use Raster Manager or Import Image to attach images you intend to print.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: how to prints the Background</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/51202?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:40:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b7b75ec3-980d-4e82-ac85-cfdc8805f04c</guid><dc:creator>Lorys</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;
What happens&amp;nbsp; when you print to colour&amp;nbsp; via paper&amp;nbsp; and&amp;nbsp; printer.plt not&amp;nbsp; pdf.plt?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Can you upload small sample so we can test&amp;nbsp; it here...?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Meanwhile try this create a&amp;nbsp; large&amp;nbsp; ploygon enough to fill your&amp;nbsp; sheet then&amp;nbsp; attach ahigh resolution&amp;nbsp; raster ie JPG or TIFF of&amp;nbsp; a blue skies with clouds not back ground...
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
then attach this as a reference file to your original&amp;nbsp; drawing and&amp;nbsp; use the sequencing&amp;nbsp; of reference files to put it underneath or first&amp;nbsp; then creat your pdf
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
but&amp;nbsp; use the&amp;nbsp; normal colourNo 255 = 255,255.255 BG&amp;nbsp; for your BG ... 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

Thank you, but I didn't find how to solve this.

Try searching in MicroStation help for: Background color map
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Other then that, I have no clue.
