    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I did not reproduce your problem,
    Are you sure that no one else in the workspace edits and saves your report?
    Does the report in the workspace have this problem, or does the PDF file just have this problem?

     

    The screenshot is from the pdf file

     

    Best regards,

Hi Anonymous ,

 

This is very strange, can you provide screenshots in Desktop and screenshots in Service?
In addition, what is the version of your Desktop?

Hi v-lionel-msft ,

 

Using Power BI Desktop Version: 2.83.5894.822 64-bit (July, 2020)

 

After some more experimenting while exporting to PDF, I noticed that the legend issue is only for the bars in the 'Line and Column Chart'. But for other charts like 'Stacked Column Chart' or 'Pie Chart' it is not an issue.

 

Here are some screen shots

 

Original Line and Column Chart (In Power BI Desktop Legend looks fine)

 

Original Combo Chart in Power BI Desktop

 

Export PDF Line and Column Chart (Issue with Legend here for the bars)

 

 

Export PDF Stacked Column Chart (No issue with Legend here)

      Hi v-lionel-msft ,

       

      Thanks for looking into it. The issue was only with the PDF export from Power BI service. 

       

      I checked again recently and issue seems to have been resolved. I will check with my team if they did something to fix it.

       

      Thanks again.
