How do I add full page background image to pdf reports?

Question

I use my own layout template module to create a PDF report in odoo 15. I have found some posts about how it used to work in earlier versions. With odoo 15 it seems to work differently. I have created a div element with the class "page" and the attribute t-attf-style with the following content: background-image:url('/report_invoice/static/src/img/background.svg'); background-size:195mm 282mm; width:195mm; height:282mm; Unfortunately, no image is displayed in the background. How does this work with odoo 15?

Thanks, I can see the background image now in the preview but when I download this preview or create an invoice the image is in the background. But the text (in the preview and the invoice) seem to be hidden. I cant read it but select the text content.
I don't use the view in the technical settings but an external module template that inherits the report_invoice_document.

Hi,After enabling debug mode, go to Settings ->
Technical -> Views and choose the layout. I'm choosing
external_layout_standard here for reference.
After that, add a div in the beginning and give style background-image with the url of the image.

Now save this and try printing the PDF. Note that in the settings, the external_layout_standard should be chosen.

Hope it helps
