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,

Cherry

    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 again, unfortunately when I went to print the report today, the same problem happened on multiple pages. I tried re-exporting the document you sent, and of course it exports properly.

         

        I took my document and removed all the content, and simply put the same size box on each page. When I export, you'll see the resulting PDF. It's erratic in behaviour.

         

        I've got the two files stored here:
