    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.

    When can we expect this? It is a major short coming of Power BI.
    Please set some expectations with us.

    This is a limitation with current option export to PDF, where user is complaining that they are not able to view the data when exported to PDF

    This is what we need to go Power BI all the way and skip Reporting service!

    I agree with this request - it would be extremely useful to have this to avoid exporting to csv and then trying to save that excel workbook as a PDF. Having the clean formatting of a PBI table in its entirety as a PDF would bring a ton of value

    I agree, Export to PDF seems just to be a screenshot so it is of very limited value. All data must be accessible.
