    Hi, powerbiwork ;

    Currently, there are several know issue on exporting report to PDF/PPT. Fix will be available in production environment recently.

    • If you have blank pages in your report, you might experience issue while exporting reports to PPT and PDF.(ICM 285199713)
    • You might experience issues with exporting report to PPT/PDF, this issue happens particularly when a customer's report visual has many-to-many relationship or if visual contains one or more filters with deleted columns, type mismatches, or other breaking modeling changes. Exports fails only if conditions match.(ICM 280467601)

Hi， powerbiwork ；

I have also encountered this problem with other users. Here you can check the following points :
1.There are some considerations and limitations on exporting a report to PDF or PowerPoint.

Reports with more than 50 report pages currently can't be exported
Reports larger than 500MB currently can't be exported
Reports owned by a user outside your tenant can't be exported
Reports being exported to older versions of PowerPoint.
Reports that take longer than an hour to process.
Report pages that take longer than 6 minutes to load.

For more limitations, please refer to Export reports from Power BI to PDF and Export a report to PowerPoint and check your target report with it.

2. Secondly, does your model have a many-to-many relationship? If so, delete the relationship first and try exporting it again

3. This is a link to similar issues. I will keep an eye on it.
