    Petebro turns out this looks like an issue with Adobe Reader but specifically with these reports. If I view in browser (like Chrome) it renders correctly.

 Petebro I don't think this counts as "solved". 

 

Using Print to PDF instead of Export to PDF from Power BI Paginated Report Builder produces better results. Please see attached snips of PDFs opened in Adobe Acrobat. Something seems wrong with the rendering on Export to PDF.  

 

PowerBI - Print To PDF - Includes anti-aliasing along the edge of the PNG24 transparency (interface between dark blue and white). 

 

PowerBI - Export To PDF - Zero anti-aliasing along the edge of the PNG24 transparency (interface between dark blue and white).

Thanks for the comment. dhomburg 

 

The problem I have is on a subscription (to automatically generate my reports) there is no option to choose between print or export.

 

Not sure if there is another way of achieving it programatically.
