Unwanted shape border when exporting to PDF

Hello,

Rectangle shapes are showing borders when I export my chart to PDF even though borders are turned off or the same color as the background. I am using the most recent verison of PowerBI Desktop (so I have a "border" option, but not an "outline" option). 

 

Things I've tried:

1. Turning the border and visual border off

2. Changing the border and visual border to be the same color as the background

3. Changing the border transparency to 100% and then trying it with both the border on and border off

 

The transparency workaround does not seem to work on the most recent version. 

 

I've attached screenshots:

1. The chart in PowerBI Desktop

2. The settings for the selected rectangle shape

3. How the chart appears when exported as a PDF

Hi @mspar10,

You can try to turn on the border option or the rectangle to enable custom on border properties: setting transparency to 100% and width to 0px.

Export result:
