That is true for the Background Fill Color; however, I read the question as referring to ‘maintain its current background but prefer the PDF version to have a blank background’, and without a screenshot of the report, I thought the question referred to a BackgroundImage rather than Background Fill Color.
Would the general idea of using a simpler IFF expression using “RPL” as the parameter instead of “PDF” to show BackgroundImage when rendered in Report Server and hide it when exported such as:
=IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = “RPL”, true, false)
This assumes the logic not to add a BackgroundImage to any exported report files.
Would the expression need to change depending on the BackgroundImage source (External, Database, Embedded)?
I don’t have a way to test this, however.
