    I am adding a background image using the designer, but I don’t have the ability to add it to the entire page, including margins. Additionally, I am unable to adjust the proportions of the background image to make it fit the entire page.

    Hi Maksym,

    It is not possible to render Images outside of the report page margin. As a workaround, one way you can do this is:

    1. Create a PageReport.
    2. Set margins as 0in and add a background image to this report.
    3. Now add a SubReport Control Expanded up to the report margin as I have done in the attached report.
    4. Bind the SubReport Control to display your actual report by setting the ReportName.
    5. In the SubReport, set the margins as 0in.

    For reference, I have attached a sample report along with.

    For more information on using SubReports please refer to the following pages of our documentation:
