Power BI Report Builder - exporting to PDF changes graphs to images

Hi   Is there a way to export a report from the Power BI Report Builder without transforming graphs in images? The Power BI Desktop can do it, so I'm hoping there's a way to do it with the PBI Repo...

    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.

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.
