PDF Export is broken on Power BI Desktop

Problem:

When I export my PBI Desktop report using the new Export to PDF feature, the output PDF file crops by 10% random pages (as if it was zooming into the page).

This is clearly a bug, because from 1 export to the next, the cropped pages are not the same ones.

Miraculously, I get a non-cropped file once in a blue moon.

 

Needless to say: it makes the Export to PDF feature completely useless.
I'm better off going through the hassle of screen capturing all pages and making a PDF out of it.

 

Email me at [email protected] for examples of the problematic output.

    Hi Mrmr_Optimistic,

     

    Thank you for your detail information. 

     

    After researching, I found it's the issue we have reported before internally: CRI 80703747. I already sent a email to contact the latest information about this issue. Will update here once I get any information. 

     

    Best Regards,

  • Was this issue resolved?


    Since the update,
    I noticed that I can now export my PDF report without the previous cropping.
