Bug in Export to PDF after Version: 2.99.621.0 64-bit (November 2021) Desktop

[Will_1]

Hi All, 

Leaving aside the question, "why would anyone want to do that?" and "just use the service." I don't want to, but I must do so and I am prohibited from using the service with my pro-license for these particular reports. 

Has anyone else encountered, or tested, Export to PDF not functioning at all after the November 2021 release of Power BI Desktop. I found one instance of this on StackExchange last week as two team members didn't have Desktop installed and their release didn't work. Mine still functioning under October release did. However, our company policy is defaulted to autoupdate microsoft products through our curated store. (Lesson learned). 

Is this on Microsoft's radar? Any other known settings that need to change to restore this functionality?

Hi @Will_1 ,

Is your issue that you couldn't export to PDF after version 2.99.621.0 64-bit (November 2021) Desktop? I have a test in version 2.99.782.0 64-bit (November 2021) which was updated yesterday. It works well.

You can download the latest version of Power BI Desktop and try again.
