    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.

    Very surprised this was not included from the outset.

    I understand the desire to push users to the Power BI sharing service, but reports often need to be quickly put into PowerPoint packs for senior audiences. I am afraid many senior audiences are not yet at the stage where they will dip into a shared dashboard to see the latest report.

    This really needs to be a priority feature. So many people are consistently asking for improved exporting from Power BI.

    Much needed functionality! Please address this ASAP. This also affects export to PowerPoint the same way.

    One way to do this, or one part of what is needed: Create Export to PDF at the visualization level - so just the table or matrix is exported to PDF / PowerPoint when that visualization is selected on the report. Possibly add this to the "More options" menu under the ellipsis that appears on mouse hover over the visualization.

    Please, please add this feature, so often it would enable more data to be displayed in Power Bi than Word/Excel
