PDF Export not Exporting Full Pages
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 most success I've had is publishing it to the web and then exporting it to PowerPoint and then creating a PDF. The PDF quality doesn't seem to be as good as usual but it's better than the alternative. When exporting to PDF from the web some pages were fine, others were much smaller in size. When trying to adjust the canvas setting the PDF pages are all huge. I need to provide reports for staff to view on their devices, Power BI is not an option, and expecting them to have to keep adjusting the zoom to see the page is just not possible.
Today there was an update to Windows, I don't know if it changed anything, but when I export to PDF only the current spreadsheet is the correct size, the others are cut out.
The solution of customizing the page is unfeasible for me, my reports have 300 pages.
praying for a solution, same customers are waiting.
