    Hi, Jefreaky 

     

    Here are some limitations and considerations in 'export to PDF':

    • Reports larger than 500 MB currently can't be exported.
    • The process of exporting the report to PDF might take a few minutes to complete, so be patient. Factors that can affect the time required include the structure of the report and the current load on the Power BI service.
    • If the Export to PDF menu item isn't available in the Power BI service, it's likely because your Power BI admin disabled the feature. Contact your admin for details.
    • Background images are cropped with the chart's bounding area. We recommend that you remove background images before you export to PDF.
    • Reports that are owned by a user outside your Power BI tenant domain, such as a report owned by someone outside your organization and shared with you, can't be published to PDF.
    • If you share a dashboard with someone outside of your organization, and thereby, a user who isn't in your Power BI tenant, that user can't export the shared dashboard's associated reports to PDF. For example, if you're [email protected], you can share with [email protected]. But [email protected] can't export the associated reports to PDF.
