Power BI Desktop Export to PDF doesn't render non-Microsoft certified visuals

[ItAccounts]

In the February 2022 update to Microsoft Power BI, the Export to PDF function stopped exporting non-Microsoft certified visuals in the report. We are using Power BI Desktop to create static reports which are exported to PDF and many of those reports use the "HTML Content" visual to display content. In previous versions exporting non-Microsoft certified visuals worked fine in Power BI Desktop but in the February 2022 version they stopped exporting. Non-Microsoft certified visuals in the report are replaced with blanks.

Hi @ItAccounts ,

Some considerations and limitations for exporting PDFs are mentioned:

• Power BI visuals that have been certified are supported. For more information on certified Power BI visuals, including how to get a Power BI visual certified, see Get a Power BI visual certified. Power BI visuals that haven't been certified aren't supported. In the PDF, they display with an error message.
