Truely export report or dashboard

I really appreciate the attempt that MS has made with the new print to pdf option. However, I am curious if this is a step they have made in that direction or if they feel this has solved the problem...

I thought I'd bring this topic up again hoping someone from the Power BI team notices.

 

Being able to export to PDF may not seem like a big thing to many, but once you are talking to senior management, then it is the only option. Particularly within Government. Why ? Because a PDF is a snapshop in time and you can print with it. It's reliable and you can take it with you everywhere without having to worry about your internet dropping out. You do not see ministers in parliament debating with their phone dashboards. They have paperwork all around them.

 

I know of a few organisations that did not adopt Power BI solely due to its inability to export to PDF correctly. It is a simple fix that will please hundreds of government organisations that cannot do without it.

 

What would be good as a start:

1. Allow a dashboard to scale to the page size. It is silly for a dashboard to only take up a quarter of a page and the left is just white space.

2. Print multiple pages in a report
