It's not clear how you created the master page background color. If you created a page-size colored rectangle not in an anchored frame, and pasted it on top of the page, while it's selected, try Graphics > Send to Back, to position it below the text frames for header, footer, and main-flow text frame.

Background Color Obscures Contents in PDF
Hi . First time poster, long-time reader... FM 8.0p266 (unstructured) on Windows XP (actually on MacBook running Parallels, but I don't think that's relevant). My problem is this: I have pages that contain large diagrams, and I want to differentiate them from the regular text pages by adding a background color to the page, making them visually clearly distinct from the facing pages. To this end, I've inserted a floating anchored frame containing screenshots, callouts, etc., then drawn an 8.5x11 colored rectangle on the page, sent it to back, and voila! But not so fast. When I save the entire document to pdf, all that appears on the large diagram page is the colored rectangle: no diagrams. If, however, I save a single large diagram page to pdf, it appears as I want it to. I have also tried creating a new master page with a background color and assigning that master page to the page with the diagram, but the results are the same as described above when saved as pdf It also doesn't appear to matter if I select overprint or knockout in the object or color properties. Does anyone have any suggestions on why save to pdf is behaving like this? Are there any settings I can change. Alternatively, if someone can tell me the correct way to accomplish what I am trying here, I would be immensely grateful.
