Background Image Size for full page Background (for PDF)

[dcdigital72]

I am creating a report that will render directly to PDF.   There are several pages or elements that will have background images...which we are currently rendering as PNG files.   We exported them at 300 dpi in order to accomodate the highest pdf export resolution possible (intended for print)...but when included in the page they get rendered with about 15% of the image off the right + bottom of the page.

Is there a recommended "pixel" or "dimensions" for a full page background...meaning something that will fill edge to edge without actually going off the edge of the page?  Please advise!

Side note:   I don't know if it will make much difference...but we are placing some elements close to the edge of the page..so have set page margins to 0 all the way around.

Thank you!

Boy am I a dufus!   This is the first time we've tried the "full width" background....and I started a new project for it....and forgot I hadn't set the page size properly.

 

We were working on the background thinking about resizing...and I suddenly realized and went and set the page dimensions to 8.5 x 11 inches...and everything fit.  Sorry for the confusion...it works well with 300 dpi (though now we find we wish we could do some top/left positioning of the bg in the container elements..oh well...at least it works for us!)
