Hi @paularc ,

 

After my test, I didn't reproduce your problem. Please try to export another visual to PDF to see whether the problem still remains. If the problem remians, please provide us your steps in order that we can help you further more.

Or you should pay attention to the following limitations.

  • R, Python, Power BI Visio visuals, and Power Apps visuals aren't currently supported. In the PDF, these visuals are blank and display an error message.
  • Power BI visuals that haven't been certified aren't supported. In the PDF, they display with an error message.
  • The ESRI ArcGIS for Power BI visual isn't supported.

  • Reports with unusual custom page sizes may experience issues in export scenarios. For best results, consider switching to a standard page size for your report.
