Need help using page breaks within power bi reports

[Shackwell]

Greetings fine gentlemen of the digital world,

I am here once again asking for your support. We have evolved slightly over the past months and today I have a new challenge, that I do not know how to address. 

I am working in a 16:9 canvas format, with 720pp as height and 1280pp as width. I want to Make the page in multiples of 720 while keeping the width. And I would like to add page breaks every 720 pixels. I am looking to do probably a 3600 height pixel page with page breaks every 720 pixels, while retaining the width at 1280 pp. With the idea of having an easier time exporting the pdfs into an executive summary.

Thank you for kindness, wisdom and time.

Thank you for your response, but I am a bit confused. Could you elaborate further between what you did on the PBI service? right now im only using the desktop version, so I might need to download additional software?

Nothing much but just exported as pdf from the service. It's the same pbix - no changes. The difference is with how the service handles exports. You can see from the screenshots in my initial posts that it is way, way more accurate.

HI @Shackwell 

Power BI doesn't automatically add page breaks. You can use an image as a page background of the same size with a horizontal line for each 720p height increment. I tried using 720p only but Power BI coudn't fill the background with it correctly. Created this one in PowerPoint.

One more thing: each tab will be exported separately so this one will exported as one long pdf page.

EDIT: after trying the export myself, it appears that Power BI Desktop doesn't fully respect the position of the visuals in a page as opposed doing the export in the Service.
