For those who are use to save Word file as PDF might have faced the issue of Yellow background in PDF file post saving (see screenshot)  Below are the simple steps to resolve this issue. You can set a background color for a Word document, but it is only visible in  Web Layout . The background will appear white in  Print Layout . Use the  View  tab's  Document Views  group,  Web Layout  command to see it one has been set. If it has, it can be removed from the  Page Layout  tab's  Page Background ,  Page Color  options. Normally, the colored page background would not print. However, there is a Word Option to  Print background colors and images . Click the  Office button, Word options, Display  and look in the bottom section,  Printing Options  for  Print background colors and images  and unchecked it. Hope this help.
