Adobe likes background, it's Microsoft Word's fault. if you click on HELP, this is what you can read : "Add or change a background color or texture Word displays backgrounds that you add by using the Background command on the Format menu in online layout view only. These backgrounds aren't designed for printed documents..." Try to tranfer your doc it into Power Point and create your background in PPT and then make your PDF. Good luck.
