Export to PDF shrinks my visuals
Hi tanneredwards7 ,
This issue could be caused by the page size settings in your report. By default, report pages are 16:9 in size. If your report page size is set to a custom size, it may not be compatible with the PDF export settings, which could cause the issue you are experiencing.
To resolve this issue, you can try changing the page size settings in your report to a standard size, such as 16:9, and then try exporting the report to PDF again.

Anonymous Unfortunately this is not the case. I have been able to print numerous reports from this same template with no previous issue, and this issue only pops up after I make changes to the document.
If I save the document after making changes, close the file, and then reopen the new saved version before printing to PDF, the document will print normally. But after I make changes again, the document becomes re-sized as it appears in the screenshot.
Note: This issue occurs on other templates that I have made with various different canvas sizes and which are completely different than the one shown in the screenshot
This also happens to me, I have no custom page size all are 16:9. As with you I have to resave the file and seems to work next time it is exported. However next time the report is rerun the export issue happens again.
I figured out a workaround for the problem.
I just add a blank sheet to whatever report I am needing to print to PDF. I make sure to have that blank sheet selected when I go to print, this way it will resize the blank page but all of the other pages I need are printed to the correct size. Once the PDF is printed, I just delete the blank page from the document and I'm good to go.
It's unfortunate that Microsoft still hasn't solved this problem, but at least this workaround saves me all the extra minutes of trying to save/re-open the document and hope it prints correctly.
thanks for this work around can confrim this also works for me, much appreciated
