Export to PDF no longer fitting visualizations to page

[use15496]

Have been using Power BI desktop for some time now and have had no problem exporting dashboard to pdf, even with custom sizes. As of this week when attempting to export to pdf Power BI changes the size of the visualizatio so that it no longer fits any pdf page size. I have attempted to change the canvas and background size with no luck. Please help on this.

Hi @use15496 ,

2023-11-1 UPDATE:
Please refer to the steps below to update the Webview2 component this will help in resolving the issue:
1. Launch Power BI Desktop
2. Once it's running, open the Task Manager and expand Power BI Desktop:

3. Right-click on the WebView2 GPU Process and select "Properties"
4. Go to the "Details" tab and confirm the version number is >= 118.0.2088.76
(Note, this example screenshot shows a lower Product Version, so it does not have the fix)

5. If this version is higher than 118.0.2088.76, please have the customer download and try the fixed version runtime for 117.0.2045.60 here:

6. Extract the cab file using a tool like 7-zip (https://www.7-zip.org/)
7. Set the environment variable WebView2FixedVersionFolder to the file path.
Ex: WebView2FixedVersionFolder
8. C:\users\bwayne\Downloads\Microsoft.WebView2.FixedVersionRuntime.117.0.2045.60.x64
9. Launch Power BI Desktop and confirm through the Task Manager that version 117 is being used.

If the problem remains unresolved, please feel free to contact me.
