Export to PDF issue with Visio visual

Anyone else having an issue exporting a published report page to PDF that includes a Visio visual. All other visuals on the page export fine but the Visio visual is just a blank space. Same happens when exporting to PowerPoint. Any suggestions??

  • Thanks for the info Anonymous but exporting a Visio visual to PDF used to work but has broken sometime in the past few months. A workaround I have discovered is to use the print report option and then select the "Print to PDF". Not perfect for all situations but OK for my users.

    Hi  doyleg_OEH  , 

    From what I understand, because it is inherently validation specific. I don't think it can be exported to PDF and PPT.

    You can refer to the following article

    Add Visio Visuals to Power BI reports 

     

    Also:

    • To see Visio Visuals inside Power BI Windows app, upgrade your device to the latest Windows Creators update.

  • What worked for me was ..

     

    - Publish to PowerBI service

    - from PowerBI service Export to Powerpoint (choose the embed live data option)

    - the Visio PDFs nicely from Powerpoint

     

    Tks
