Export to PDF Moving Objects

[dkdirenzo]

Hi, when I export a PBI report to PDF, sometimes shapes will move or the "scroll" bar will appear on the side of a matrix or table even if not showing in report reading view. Is there a way to export without having these issues?

Power BI isn't pixel perfect even if it appears so. Different browsers render differently and so are different screen resolutions. In the image below, browser used is firefox but the first one is from my  laptop's screen, the other one is from my second monitor.  Use paginated reports  as @lbendlin suggested if you want it pixel perfect.

you have crammed your visuals too close together. Give them more space (margins)  so that small rendering differences are not as impactful.

If you need pixel perfect rendering - use paginated reports.
