URL Images blocked when Exporting to PDF

Hi, bethf 

According to your description, have you changed the data category of this URL column to “Image URL”?

And can you view the image correctly displayed in the report in the Power BI service?

According to my test, I can view and export the image report successfully.

You can follow this document:

If you still have a problem, you can post your sample pbix file for us to take a test. Below is my test pbix file.

Thank you very much!

Hi v-robertq-msft, 

The Image is set as URL in the data category and it is correctly displayed in the Online Power BI Serivce. It's just when the report is exported from there to a PDF the image no longer appears.  I have been using the Simple Image visual from the market place.  But have also tried Image Pro by Cloudscope.  

Hi, 

According to your description, do you mean that you are using the custom visual which is called Simple Image visual to display the URL image?

According to my search, the Simple Image visual seems not to be a custom visual certified by Microsoft. Therefore, I think that you should find the author of the visual to report this problem if it really exists.

What's more, it's also a good way to avoid this problem by using the table visuals to show these pictures instead of the custom visual.

Thank you very much!
