Printing in in PBI 8.5 x11

What is the page sizing needed to if I want to print one tab in power bi to pdf tp where I will not have to reduce the scale when I print from the PDF?  The option "letter" still is too large and I need to print in portrait as opposed to landscape.  What are the pixel sizes needed?  Are there any workarounds to where I can use the letter format and print to pdf to where it does not scale it down by 15-20%

Yes! I had the same issue today; the letter option still being too large when printing to PDF. This is kind of late but maybe it will help someone else: Under your canvas settings, select "Letter" for the type. Then, select "View" from the toolbar ribbon up top. Click on the "Page View" button and select "Actual size". You'll have to do this for each page you want to print at 8.5 x 11, if you have multiple pages.  When you go to print a PDF, it will come out very close to 8.5x11; I think it ends up actually being 8.5 x 11.21.

You may want to look into Paginated Reports.  Power BI Desktop is not the right tool for this purpose.
