Printing to PDF

Hi guys

 

We have a report, that has the scroll bars, for the screen, that is great.. But when we print to PDF, the only thing is shown is exactly what is on the screen. Is there a way to print the whole report without scroll bars to the PDF, so the users can view the full amount of data? 

Seems useless to print to PDF that is just a screen shot! 

Thanks in advnace.

This is Not resolved, I would recomend NOT to use PowerBI for any reports, the Printing to paper, or to PDF is terrible, and unusable for customers.

Hi , @Anonymous 

It seems like a report rather than a dashboard.

If  possible ,  maybe  you can download to  local then using powerbi desktop to export to PDF.

It is a report, The customer wants a PDF version, we provide this service via PowerApps, so NOT an option for the customer to use Powerbi desktop of online.. 

 

The basic function of a report being printed complete, as paper of PDF seems to be missing. We are considering to moving to SSRS now instaed of this. 

 

Thanks

There is no option to print data that is now visible on your screen. 

You can check a third-party tool like https://powerbitiles.com/?app=PBIRobots#features

or Paginated Reports will help you out, you can locally create reports and you need Premium to publish.
