Background image sizing

Hello,
I have a jpg image to use as report background. How can I strecth the image in order to fill the page background (i'm using PDF output) with my image ?

Thanks,
PierreIn report designer, go to the properties editor window and select "Body" for the report body from the drop down list.
The report body has a background image property. Note: page header and page footer are independent of the report body - but you can also use images in those page sections.

thanks for the reply. I already Tryied these settings but I can't stretch the background image, just set the repeating style.

Since the report must be rendered as PDF only, how can I create a background image so that it fits perfctly to the resulting PDF ? I guess it depends on the DPI used in reporting services.

Thanks,
Pierre|||

Sorry, we don't have an option right now that would stretch the image.

If your image fits the physical page size (i.e. Report.PageSize - Report.Margins) at 96 dpi, it should also look fine then in PDF at higher resolutions.

Thanks,
Pierre
