print html backgroud color in pdf with google apps script blob.getAs()

Question

1. I'm generating an html file using HTMLService
   1. Then I create a file out of the htmlOutput with the DriveService
   2. Last I generate a pdf file with the blob.GetAs("application/pdf")

This works all fine, but the background colors don't get printed. Is there a way to bring the background color html styles in the pdf ?

Answer 1

Had the same issue! Add this to a style-tag in you html file.

@media print {body {-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;}}

For me that resolved the issue. (found it here)

Answer 2

You could try using a different data flow to get your pdf as described in this post answer and in this other one.

I didn't test with colored backgrounds but it is worth giving it a try.
