#### Sample document for this solution
```
---
cssclass: banner-image
---
>[!banner-image] ![[vacation.jpg]]
# My Header
My document text here ...
...
...
```
#### Exporting to PDF
The banner will export to PDF, however, it is not aligned in the same way. PDF is a print medium and needs to be formatted differently.
If you don't want the banner to show when printing, add `banner-no-print` to the cssclass in the frontmatter. It would like:
```
---
cssclass: banner-image, banner-no-print
---
>[!banner-image] ![[vacation.jpg]]
```
When the frontmatter is configured this way, the banner will display in Preview mode in Obsidian, but will not display when using the Export to PDF option.
