    from my experience (not PowerBI related, but surprisingly consistent across different apps) the way export to pdf is working is often dependant on the settings of the default printer, as it tries to apply the technical margin of the printer. Have you tried changing that & see if print looks the same?

      I have wondered that myself, but where the problem is inconsistent, and changes depending on the page I'm currently viewing in Power BI, I just don't think it's the case in this instance.
