Hi Anonymous Anonymous 

 

I've tested Export to PDF in newly released Power BI Desktop, but I couldn't repro it. This feature works well at my side. My test version is 2.99.621.0 64-bit (November 2021).

 

For Export to PDF, there are some considerations and limitations as follows. Please check whether this issue is caused by these items.

  • Power BI reports with more than 50 report pages currently can't be exported
  • Reports larger than 500MB currently can't be exported
  • The process of exporting the report to PDF might take a few minutes to complete, please try again and wait for a while to see whether you wil get the exported pdf

In addition, please go to the following path to check whether your exported pdf will be displayed there after you do such operation:  C:/Users/{username}/AppData/Local/Temp/Power BI Desktop/print-job-xxx/xxx.pdf

 

If all above points are not applicable to you, please try to uninstall your Desktop and reinstall it after deleting the content in this path: C:/Users/yourusername/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Power BI Desktop.
