Exporting to PDF does not wait till visuals are loaded

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

When Exporting to PDF from Power BI Desktop, I noticed that it seems as if the program is taking a screen shot of each page which it uses as the output image for PDF. 

One problem which i noticed is that the porgram does not let all the visuals on the page load first before taking the screenshot causing the image to be missing data. 

Please let me know your thoughts

Kind Regards

Same issue here... incomplete data as the visuals take longer to load than is allowed by the export to pdf function.  Hopefully as a temporary fix I am replacing a lot of the visual with a much smaller number of tables (this will require more queries in the background), also won't look as good as the original, as tables can be set to a fixed row height...

My workaround is to export to PDF multiple times, changing the 1st page each time (because the 1st page normally draws completely).

We have the exact same issue, but we schedule these reports to go out automatically so it randomly inserts blank spots in the page.  

It looks like this has been a problem for over a year, where is the fix?

Hello all,

I am having an issue with my map not populating when exporting the PBI desktop report to a PDF.

Any help here?

This problem is happening to me too, and I have not been able to find any solution. Can somebody at Power BI please respond??

When we go to export our data to a PDF the map does not load properly, or at all. In addition to this, the some times the map visuals will not even load in the program itself when switching through tabs, untill clicked on or otherwise refreshed. I've included a video of what I am reffering to, please respond.

Thank you.

Hello all, I am having the same problem and like some other comments can not believe the ammout of time this issue has been draging on for. I have multiple pages of Arcgis heat maps, when exporting the report to pdf the maps either come through in part (image but no legend) or are completly blank. Please can a fix be issued.

The problem still in place

Same problem here. A fix doesnt seem complicated - add a report-level option to let us slow down the transition between pages, e.g. number of seconds delay before rendering page to PDF.
