    Thanks for the info Stephen. Those first two pages were originally created as 16:9, with widgets added to that page, then resized to 1123x794 and widgets moved/resized to fit. I wonder if that was the cause of the problem?

    I've now resolved my issue by just recreating a blank page for each one, setting to 1123x794 and copy/pasting directly from the affected pages. Deleted old pages and now they all print in A4.

Hello Community Members. 

 

This threats seems to be over 2yo, but for me this is relevant.

 

I have over 20 tabs what I want export to pdf and print it to end users. 

Problem is same, but I have tried different scenarios. 

 

Most of tabs are custom size

Size 1

H: 900 px

W: 1280 px

Few special case have different size,but haven't tried to exported yet. 

Size 2

H: 900 px

W: 1440 px

Size 3

H: 900 px

W: 1800 px

 

Scenario1:

Tabs 1-10

Size equal

1st page is smaller than others. 

 

Scenario2

Tab 1

Full size (A4)

 

Scenario3

Tabs 1-2

Tab1 Full size(A4)

Tab2 Small size (A3?)

 

Scenario4 

Tabs 1-3 

All tabs Full size(A4) 

 

Scenario5 

Tabs 1-14 

All tabs Full size(A4) except Tab 13 (A3)

After this scenario I check what is different and only thing was different was show size in PBI.

Other was 100% 

Tab 13 was 80%

 

Scenario5 - Possible solution

Tabs 1-14 

After changing show size to fit to page

All tabs show on report Full size(A4)!!

 

Someone advice to try Power BI Report builder, but it is nonsense software and I haven't found any good tutorial videos for it to great report automate.

 

Best regards
