Advocate IIPrint as PDF?
Hi,
Is there a way to print a Power BI Desktop report as a PDF? I know could get a print screen, but I wonder if I can print it directly as a PDF.
Thanks!

brendaivett The out of box functionality doesn't support that from the Desktop. The print option is only available from the Power BI Service.

We found if you use Chrome and the "Save As PDF" option,
(important- with background graphics) you can get a pretty good print.

I have an issue that it only print my dashboard at 5% scaled down. Would you please help.

I have this same problem. It's very frustrating as I have to do a screenshot of every page of a dashboard to produce a 'moment in time' record of the figures.
Would be great to know if there is a solution now?
Thanks
I installed Chrome and do not see the Save as PDF option. How do I get to that option?

brendaivett there is the ability to do a standard print.
If you have a PDF print driver installed such as CutePDF, you can simply print to you PDF printer which will generate a PDF for you.
brendaivettThanks ianbarker, and sorry if this is not too obvious to me, as I'm really new with Power BI, but from the Power BI Desktop, where I create the report, I don't see anywhere the printing option, I see import, export, save, etc. but not printing, am I missing something?

- ianbarkerbrendaivett I'm really sorry, I should have mentioned that the print option is currently only available in Power BI Online. You would need to publish your report there first.
What hapens if you have a report with more than one page?
Can I export, save... the report ans PDF?Thanks in advance!
