Exporting as PDF Shrinks Random Page
Hi, in the August update, Print to PDF was made available.
My report pages are set up in Letter format, for printing the document. Unfortunately, when I export as PDF, at least one page is shrunk, as if zoomed out.
If I'm selected on the first worksheet when I export to PDF, the second page is shrunk. If I'm selected on the second worksheet, the first page is shrunk.

Hi patri0t82,
By my test with the Power BI Desktop Version: 2.61.5192.541 64-bit (August 2018), everything works as expected.
Do you have this issue for all your report or the single one?
Please check if all of your pages with the same size.
If you still have this issue, please share a dummy pbix file which can reproduce the issue, so that we can help further investigate on it? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)
In addition, you could have a tests with my attachment, check if you could Export to PDF with it in your environment successfully.
Best Regards,

Thank you so much for your reply, and sending the test file. Your file exported properly here, and when I tried my file again this morning, it appeared to work fine (after having restarted my computer, incidentally). I'm not sure if it will happen again. If it does I'll try to get a dummy workbook ready.
Hi patri0t82,
It is glad that you have solved this problem. It may be a temporary error.
Please always accept the replies making sense as solution to your question so that people who may have the same question can get the solution directly.

I'm liking the new Export to PDF feature but am also experiencing the 'random shrinking page' issue, and also the 'random page truncation' issue. Hoping this will be fixed soon as it can be frustrating regenerating an 8 page report multiple times until all pages render correctly.
My workaround to this issue was navigate to a different page and come back. Using a timer this is the only way I could work this.
Any other suggestions would help.
Srijit.
