Financial report logo requirements

You can include images and logos on financial reports exported to PDF to enhance branding and presentation. Set your logos via style settings.

Logos are controlled through style settings, which define how and where images are applied within a report. There are different image requirements depending on whether a logo appears in a header or footer, or if it fills a page, like on the cover.

Cover page, title page and last page logo requirements

Property

Description

Format

Full-page PDF (e.g. A4)

Layout

Images should accommodate overlaid text.

Cover and title pages are introductions with text (e.g. title or client name) overlaying the image.

The last page is typically image-only, acting as a branded closing page.

Report header and footer logo requirements

Property	Description
Format	PNG, JPG or JPEG. For the best quality, we recommend a high-resolution PNG, especially when printing.
Size	The logo size is controlled by the report margin, measured in centimetres. If the logo is larger than the margin, the logo size is decreased to fit the margin. If the logo is smaller than the margin, the logo size isn’t increased, to preserve quality. But you’ll see a message with a suggested pixel size for the logo that will let it fit well in the margin.
Usage	Shown on every page except for the cover, title and table of contents
Placement	Header images fit the top margin. Footer images fit in the bottom margin.
Alignment	Left, centre or right. Images sit flush against the page edge.
Behaviour	Images scale automatically if margins are too small. If margins are larger than the image, a message suggests optimal sizing. No extra margin is applied around the image – white space must be built into the image file as required.

MYOB template requirements

Property	Description
Header	In MYOB templates, the report header (report name, client details, ABN, etc.) is part of the main body, not the defined top margin. The report header always prints below the top margin and cannot be positioned alongside a logo inside the header margin.
Footer	Text is defined in the footer style, which shares space with any footer image. Footer text may overwrite a footer image unless you edit custom style code. For consistency, we don’t recommend editing style code.
