Hi @ferhat_lyes ,
When you export to PDF, only the snapshot of screen is exported as an image and embedded to your PDF file.
Hence, anything visible in your Power BI Report using scrolls are neglected in PDF export.

 

For all your small multiples to be visible in PDF export, you will need to format your line chart in such a way that there is no scroll.
Couple of suggestions for the same:
1. You can try reducing the no. of small multiples - Not recommended if you need to have all small muliples

2. Extend the height/width of your page and increase the no. of rows/columns from format -> small multiples -> Rows/Columns

ok thanks, so we can consider this as limitation

@ferhat_lyes ,
Yup, it indeed is a PDF export limitation. Not just in Power BI, it still is a limitation in most of the BI tools.
