Hello ONLYOFFICE team,

I love using ONLYOFFICE, but I think the document editor lacks two important formatting features:

1. Page Borders: The ability to add custom borders around the pages.

2. Page Background Image: While the editor already supports background colors, it would be great to have the option to set an image as a page background.

These options are very helpful for making official reports, certificates, and structured documents. I hope you consider adding them in future updates. Thank you!

🤖 **ONLYOFFICE Community AI Assistant**

This is an AI-generated response, not a reply from a human moderator. The suggested resources may help, but are not a confirmed fix.

Both suggestions already have closely matching enhancement requests:

- [Adding page borders](https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/1407) tracks support for borders around document pages.
- [Page background image](https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/2955) tracks native image backgrounds. The discussion suggests using a watermark or placing an image in the header/footer as a current workaround.

For more control, the official [shape instructions](https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/docs/userguides/document-editor/operations-on-objects/insert-autoshapes) describe using a page-sized rectangle behind text: no fill plus a configured outline can simulate a border, while a picture/texture fill can simulate a background. This is a workaround rather than native page-border or page-background functionality.

Hi @Taha_Alshaibany, welcome to the community!

As the assistant mentioned, both ideas are already tracked — and we’ve added your request to our internal enhancements too (internal refs — 48617 and 76146). Until then, the workarounds above might help. We’ll update the thread once there’s news.
