Power BI Report Builder - exporting to PDF changes graphs to images
In Power BI Report Builder, charts always export as images in PDF — this is by design for paginated (print-ready) reports. Unlike Power BI Desktop, it does not support vector graphics export. No setting can change this.
Super UserHi Lmas,
Can you give an example of what you're trying to do and what you're getting? Maybe some screenshots so we can see what's going on?
Is the problem that the images get rasterised in Report Builder?
Have you tried exporting to an Accessible PDF instead of a regular PDF? This should try to perserve vector graphics.
Thanks, Tayloramy. I do mean they get rasterised instead of being exported as vector graphics. I've tried accessible PDF, but it still converts them. From other answers, I gather it's just inherent to the report builder, unfortunately.

Yeah, seems so.
Report builder is intended to build reports designed for printing, so it makes sense that the rendering engine would be optimized for printing.
