Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, when exporting to pdf the black rectangle is gone! The background is white and the logo is there but not seen. The text is black.

Please try to replace the document colors and see if that works for you.

Go to Edit (Windows), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences > Accessibility > Replace Document Colors and change page background to black and document text to white as shown in the screenshot below:

Hope it will help

Regards

Amal
