Export to PDF not displaying map data

Submitted by on ‎08-07-2024 06:05 AM

For the past few days, whenever I export a report to a PDF, the map visualization fails to display any data despite there being data in the Service. I don't have the option to change to a different style of map visualization. Is there a bug with the software? See the images showing before and after exporting to PDF. It seems to only affect the Service (not Desktop) where I do most of my exporting. Any help with restoring the data in the PDF from the Service is greatly appreciated.

Hi @pbi95 

Ever had a problem like this before? Is it the same result if you create a map on Service and export it to PDF?

@Anonymous Yes, when I create a map on Service and export it to PDF, it appears empty. This is true of any web browser I use.

Same for us! My report consumers prefer to export to .pdf, but when they do this the visual has no data:

@Anonymous Is there an ETA on when this might be fixed? It's been this way for at least 2 weeks

@we4get, @Anonymous the issue persists for us, too.

  • When we export to .pdf the map visual bubbles are gone.
  • The bubbles are also gone when we export to PowerPoint.
  • We can see them in the service.
  • The Map visual appears to be the only visual where this is happening.
  • What's special about the Map visual?
  • Exporting the map visual all by itself to PowerPoint, I can see the bubbles represented by the underlying data. This is not acceptable! 
  • When I exported the map visual all by itself to PowerPoint the first time, I got a long, very detailed warning about embedded data I had to click through before seeing it. So, could it be a security issue related to sharing the underlying data in the Map visual?
