Background color with landscape page

Hi,

I can’t seem to get the background color of my page to completely fill a page when it’s in landscape mode. It looks like it’s only filling a portrait width of color. It leaves a large white background space to the right. It works fine in portrait. I attached an image of what it looks like.

Landscape_BackgroundColor_Title.png (4.0 KB)

Relevant code

var license = new License();
license.SetLicense(“Aspose.PDF.lic”);

var doc = new Document();
var output = new MemoryStream();

var blue = Color.FromRgb(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0, 44, 86));
var white = Color.FromRgb(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 255));

// Pdf doc settings
doc.PageInfo.IsLandscape = true;
doc.Background = bamBlue;
doc.PageInfo.Margin.Left = 20;
doc.PageInfo.Margin.Right = 20;
doc.PageInfo.Margin.Top = 20;
doc.PageInfo.Margin.Bottom = 20;

var titleSection = doc.Pages.Add();
doc.Pages[1].Background = blue;

titleSection.PageInfo.IsLandscape = true;
titleSection.Background = blue;
titleSection.PageInfo.Margin.Left = 0;
titleSection.PageInfo.Margin.Right = 0;
titleSection.PageInfo.Margin.Top = 0;
titleSection.PageInfo.Margin.Bottom = 0;

var portfolioTitle = new TextFragment($@"{portfolio}")
{
HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center,
VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center
};
portfolioTitle.TextState.FontSize = 36;
portfolioTitle.TextState.ForegroundColor = white;
portfolioTitle.TextState.BackgroundColor = bamBlue;
portfolioTitle.TextState.Font = FontRepository.FindFont(“Arial”);

titleSection.Paragraphs.Add(portfolioTitle);

doc.Save(output, SaveFormat.Pdf);
return output.ToArray();

Are there other properties that need to be set to accomplish the whole landscape page to be a background color?

I am just noticing this as well. We would greatly appreciate some feedback, as it has been 6 months. I need to push something out to production. Is this going to be fixed? Some more feedback is that it paints only the standard 8.5x11 page in the lower left corner. If the page is standard size it works well Even is the page is not landscape, but if the page height is extended it will be painted in the lower left corner. I am sure that it is the right size. It just appears to be hard coded. I think it just need to respect the page size.
