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.
