Hi Guys:

I set a background colors in OrCad Capture(ver 17.4) and it is work normally.

But, the background in pdf file exported by "Export pdf" function is still white(RGB 255/255/255).

I have tried to modify the "Converter" to "Ghostscript / equivalent" or "Ghostscript 64 bit / equivalent", the results is same.

Could you please let me know how to export pdf with background?

    Capture 17.4 uses themes and Printing has a Theme setup. By default, the Legacy Theme is used for Printing and that will have a White background and use the Legacy colors. You can change the Printing Theme from Options>Extended Preferences, Schematic group and "Schematic Print Theme". You can setup the Theme colors from Options>Preferences and the Colors/Print tab.

    I am using ISR#35 and I have this option which has been suggested by Oldmouldy.

    Which ISR you are using? Go to Help - About and see.

    You are on base release and have not installed any hotfix of SPB17.4.
