Default Background color cut off on long page

I have a document with a long page (48cm) and a dark background color, that I would like to print/export to pdf. The problem is that the background color and in fact the entire document is cut off at around the length of an A4 page. I've tried using a different printer and print settings, adjusting margins, finding a solution in the page setup, but was not successful.



I am attaching both the problematic file and a screenshot of Word's print preview for the document.

Thanks so much for your help!

Use SaveAs instead of printing.

Thanks for replying.

That unfortunately doesn't change anything, the resulting pdf looks identical, whether I print, click the "PDF or XPS" button, or choose "Save as..." and select pdf as the output file format.

Interesting. I have now also tried at home, with the same result. Then I changed the printer to Adobe Acrobat and printed to pdf and this time it worked (this solution had not worked in the office, though).
