    Hi AdamEffective22 ,

     

    It worked fine when I exported to PDF in Power BI Desktop contained a map visual.

    Ensure you are using the latest version of Power BI Desktop. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in newer releases.

    There might be a corruption in the map visual also. Try deleting the existing map visual and recreating it from scratch.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi AdamEffective22 -As a temporary workaround, you can export the report from Power BI Service, as you've noted that it works fine there. You can also try printing to a PDF printer directly from the Desktop app, which might bypass the issue.

If possible, try recreating the map visual from scratch. Sometimes, a corrupted visual or underlying data issue can cause the application to crash or you can use alternative export methods can help mitigate the issue. try to check with the latest installation of the pbi application too. 

 

Hope it helps
