I've put together a report that summarizes data and highlights it if its above or below the target range. However, when I use Print() to output a PDF, the colours disappear. Other features (e.g. various lines) are still different colours, but the various Fill colours are lost.

I've seen elsewhere that this is a problem with the browser and "background graphics". If I go to print a normal web page, I get the option to turn them on in the print dialogue. However, when I go to print my report PDF those options are missing.

What am I missing?

-----EDIT 1--------------------

Really, once you've used the Print() function you've already created a PDF, just as a temporary file, right? Then it's just a matter of saving it as a "real" file using your PDF viewer of choice. The loss of graphics has already occurred in the temporary file.

I checked the document properties of a temp PDF. They indicate that the PDF is being created using a (open-source) "PDF producer" called "Skia." Is it possible there's something incompatible between how PowerApps prepares its graphics data and how Skia translates it into PDF format?
