Text background is white and not the background color specified in an ODS region

[ghosh]

I am stumped trying to display text in an ODS layout region in a shaded area.
The problem is the text is displaying on a white background rather than on the color specified as the background color
as shown in the attached picture.

ods _all_ close;
options nonumber nodate orientation=landscape papersize=tabloid nocenter
	leftmargin=2cm rightmargin=2cm topmargin=1cm bottommargin=1.5cm;

ods escapechar='^';
ods pdf file="fname.pdf" dpi=300 notoc;

/*absolute*/
ods layout start  
  style={bordercolor=black borderstyle=solid borderwidth=.5pt};

ods region  x=0.0cm y=0.0cm height=0.5cm width=25cm
	 style={bordercolor=black borderstyle=solid borderwidth=.5pt background=BWH});

ods pdf text="^S={just=c vjust=c height=10pt}Highlights";

The destination is PDF, I am using SAS 9.4_M3

Any suggestions how I can fix this problem? The relevant parts of the code is below.

Thanks

The PDF destination uses the Pearl style by default.  The background color is white by default, so you need to specify the color you want.  Add BACKGROUND=BWH to the style portion of the ODS PDF TEXT statement.

ods _all_ close;

options nonumber nodate orientation=landscape papersize=tabloid nocenter
	leftmargin=2cm rightmargin=2cm topmargin=1cm bottommargin=1.5cm;

ods escapechar='^';

ods pdf file="/folders/myfolders/ODS PDF/fname.pdf" dpi=300 notoc;

/*absolute*/
ods layout start  
  style={bordercolor=black borderstyle=solid borderwidth=.5pt};

ods region  x=0.0cm y=0.0cm height=0.5cm width=25cm
	 style={bordercolor=black borderstyle=solid borderwidth=.5pt background=BWH};

ods pdf text="^S={just=c vjust=c height=10pt background=bwh}Highlights";

ods layout end;

ods pdf close;

Specify background color in ODS PDF TEXT statement to match color of ODS REGION

Suzanne,
Thank you! However, if I have another box with a slightly different color, how I would I handle that?

Use the slightly different color of the other box.
