Error exporting to pdf - does not export the configured size in the powerbi desktop canvas

I have a problem when exporting to pdf, the power bi exports only half or 1/4 of my canvas configured in the desktop app.
I tried several ways:
- Adjusting the zoom to 66% (works in some cases)
- Manually setting the canvas size (works but is tedious)
- and also I have published it in my workspace (there it works), but I have several files that have connection to SQL (direct query) in that case because my limited account type does not allow me.

Maybe someone out there knows the solution.
Thank you in advance.
