Helper IVLooks good in PDF - doesn't print correctly
Hi everyone. I built a custom report which is 1280px wide by 3200px high - I had assumed it would just be viewed on a screen, and on a screen it looks fine.
It was then decided it needed to be printed. Exporting to PDF it looks great, but once you hit print it goes all skinny and narrow on one page, and trying to play around with the settings leads to chunks of the report missing - I can't seem to get it to replicate the PDF preview or go over multiple pages.
Any suggestions? In the preview it perfectly fits the page over multiple pages. When you go to print it looks like this (the red border is the edge of the page - it's all skinny and missing half the report (there are 2 more sections under the 2 you can see here)
Thanks in advance!

Hi. If you want to print a report page and make it look exactly as the thing you are watching on the screen I would suggest other page size. Take a look at this post: https://blog.ladataweb.com.ar/post/687684862030839808/powerbi-informes-preparados-para
Try using that sizing and recomendations in order to build pages that match with traditional A4 page size.
I hope that helps,

Thanks! It seems to be in Spanish though - is there an English version somewhere? Regardless I'll try the sizing mentioned and see if it helps 👍
