Organize + Background works only / 1st page

Post by Saveurs »

Hi,

When I try to apply a background to one or all pages, it only works for the first page.
What could be the reason?

Thanks.

Hello, Saveurs

It should apply to all pages, perhaps you have "selected" a specific page, or an old "current/custom" selection is still enabled? Check at the bottom of the Add background tool:

In my test, the output was as expected:

Kind regards,

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I tried everything, even applying a background on a page in the middle of the document and still it is the first page that gets the background but not the one I tried to.
Saving the document and open it again just confirms it: 1st page only.

Does this board allow to upload that file so that you can see it by yourself?

You can upload up to 10 attachments to this forum. PDF files can be uploaded as they are. Some file types cannot be uploaded as is. However, even in such cases, you can upload the files by compressing them into a ZIP file.
