EXPORT TO PDF DOESN'T RESPECT ASPECT RATIO PAGE

Hi All,

 

I've the following problem in Power BI Desktop when I try to export to PDF.

 

In the Power BI file, the Page Canvas has a default size of 1280x720 pixels (16:9 format, Aspect Ratio = 1.78). However the exported PDF pages have a dimension of 351.4x203.2 mm with a different aspect ratio of 1.73. Is this a bug? Is there a way to force the original aspect ratio when exporting to PDF?

 

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated, thanks.

Try changing the size on Service and then exporting:

Usually exports take the dimensions that the web is currently using (either fit to width, fit to page, etc.)

Hi Ray,

 

thanks for answering.

 

The problem is indifferent to this option in Power BI Desktop as in my case: I tried "Fit to page", "Fit to width" and "Actual Size" but without success.
