Exporting PDFs with images in schedules

Has anyone found a workaround to this?

When exporting a PDF containing a schedule that contains images, if the schedule has been formatted to display a background on the cells the images won't print.
Schedule with Images display correctly on the screen when exported, no images are visible in the cells with background.

Currently using Revit 2024, schedules with images as a parameter. Settings on the schedule are show Stripe Rows (Appearance).

Currently Autodesk reports that the issue is known, but they say it can be fixed by printing instead of exporting. It does not work. Incident 202284

Image attached. On the left as seen on the sheet in Revit, on the right exported PDF.
Top schedule doesn't have a background nor striped rows, bottom schedule has striped rows.

I use Revit 2024 latest build, export to PDF using DiRoots ProSheet and I do not have the same problem.

Im using 2025.4 with the built in PDF Export...the exported PDF of the Sheet/Schedule includes both background including images

 

Do you have any other PDF viewer or Editor, I am curious if you can check if the images are actually there in the background? Maybe it is the pdf viewer mixing up layer order! The export option in revit exports the Images into PDF as individual images/layers where on the pdf one may also move them, reorder them, color edit them...etc
