Hi
When I export a report to pdf following top is being printed:
1. The yellow highlighted grey line: how do I get rid of this?
2. Red marked: the distance between the top of the page and the report itself is huge imho. Considering that every pixel on a report page is precious this doesn't make sense to me. How can I adjust the distance in Power BI?
3. Also when we have a coloured background on the report and print it to pdf, there's a white frame on the page. How can the exported pdf page be fully in colour?
Thank you for your help.
@Anonymous you can set the page background whatever you want but keep in mind you cannot adjust these details, this is what you get. For more pixel perfect reporting (export/printing), paginated report builder is designed to do so.
