Hi Michael,
Although I own my own misunderstanding, here are the sections from the documentation that got me going down the wrong rabbit hole with respect to thinking that I could get a PDF which included the background image (emphasis mine):
from the "Hidden line options" section:
"Generate outlines" creates curves in areas where objects are adjacent to the viewport background. This can be used to give a bold accented border surrounding the entire object. It works in combination with the shaded background image, since the background image masks out the inner half of the border.
and in the "Image" section:
Background images are editable while you are inside this command. Click and drag on an image to reposition it. Dragging on a corner frame widget allows scaling of the image, and dragging on the rotation widget allows rotating the image. A click and release on the rotation widget instead of click and drag enables a different rotation mode that shows a 3-wheel rotation gizmo. When that gizmo is enabled you can click and drag on any of the 3 wheels to rotate around any of the 3 axes - click off of a wheel to exit this mode. Undo can be used to undo edits of the background images while still inside the Image command.
Seeing "background image" in both gave me some hope that I could get a PDF with whatever background image is currently visible.
