PDF Export not Exporting Full Pages
- Anonymous2 years ago
HI PurpleWave22,
This is a known issue on export contents when you try to export PDF from power bi desktop.
For this issue, you can try to publish to power bi service side then use the export to PDF features and it should work. Power bi team are working on it and I will update here if any ETA.
Update:
Please refer to the steps below to update the Webview2 component this will help in resolving the issue:
1. Launch Power BI Desktop
2. Once it's running, open the Task Manager and expand Power BI Desktop:3. Right-click on the WebView2 GPU Process and select "Properties"
4. Go to the "Details" tab and confirm the version number is >= 118.0.2088.76
(Note, this example screenshot shows a lower Product Version, so it does not have the fix)
5. If this version is higher than 118.0.2088.76, please have the customer download and try the fixed version runtime for 117.0.2045.60 here:

6. Extract the cab file using a tool like 7-zip (https://www.7-zip.org/)
7. Set the environment variable WebView2FixedVersionFolder to the file path.
Ex: WebView2FixedVersionFolder
8. C:\users\bwayne\Downloads\Microsoft.WebView2.FixedVersionRuntime.117.0.2045.60.x64
9. Launch Power BI Desktop and confirm through the Task Manager that version 117 is being used.
If the problem remains unresolved, please feel free to contact me.Regards,

The only thing I can think of is that it is something to do with a release of Microsoft Edge WebView that was released yesterday Build number 118.0.2088.57 as I know from previous experience WebView is used for application GUI's and also tasks like PDF exporting and it would make sense as Power BI is a Microsoft Applicaiton.
I'm trying to roll back to the previous version (118.0.2088.46) but I need to wait for my employers service desk to handle this via group policies so may take a while to test unfortunately.
However, if anyone else wants to try rolling back this, please see guide here: How to Roll Back Microsoft Edge Version in Windows? (shareus.com)

I have tested rolling back Edge but that did not work. I tried build 117 and then 115 - same results with both.
I do think it is related to Edge/EdgeView though as I had no other updates on my system other than Edge on the date these issues began.
