The new feature Export to PDF appears to be just a screen capture of each report - whatever is currently being shown on the screen is what is captured in the pdf. When a report has a Table or Matrix visualization on it with rows that scroll beyond what is shown, these are not captured in the pdf. Need to have all the data show up in the pdf.

You can export formatted reports including all the rows as PDF using Inforiver. Check out the other exciting features here.

I understand that Paginated Reports (Report Builder) can do this (I've used this features when using Report Builder with SSRS); however, the pricing for paginated reports functionality in Power BI makes it cost prohibitive for most organizations. Please include Paginated Reporting in the Pro licensing or add the ability to export to PDF into Power BI.

This feature is so much needed - and of course directly in Power BI not in a separate tool !!

Please Microsoft. I too beg of you. This is so much needed for our organization. I hope you can offer a solution for us all. Thank you.

There's a need to export data to PDF that fits onto the width of a page. Especially when a user wants a document that cannot be edited. I have a report of 13 columns that wraps when converted to PDF

RE: Export to PDF needs to include all rows in a Table or Matrix visualization

When developing a new Power BI report, we often need to export a sample of the report to PDF for seeking feedback and sharing problems with non-users and non-developers of Power BI, but exporting to PDF cuts off multiple columns from large table visualizations and all but the first few rows of data. In my opinion, it would be extremely helpful if we had a PDF page setup tool, with a preview option, that would allow us to control the zoom levels for each exported page or visualization, and the ability to select how many rows or number of pages to include in the exported PDF. Thank you!

This would be great! More and more customers are asking for this.

How can this still be a standard function? It feels like a joke that you have to use a separate report builder tool to reproduce a table to print paginated results. We need a simple one click step to export the table content as PDF, not just as csv!

Most important and critical requirement. Please add this feature as soon as possible.
