Hi, please help .... I set a simulated color paper in document settings and it works well in AI - everything looks good until I try to export file to JPG/PDF. Then the background color is not as set which is driving me crazy. Please help, what could be the issue? I am almost sure I am clicking something wrong as it worked in the past. THANK YOU ALL 🙂

    Papercolor in Illustrator is not really a color, it is just there to simulate how your design would look if printed.

    Try Show Transparency Grid to see the papercolor disappear.

    If you want something to export in the background; create a layer at the bottom with a colored rectangle.
