PowerBI crashes during .pdf export (28tabs)

Hi, I find the .pdf exporter to be very temperamental. Sometimes it works and MOST of the time it does not work. I often have to reinstall an older version of PowerBI, which sometimes fixes the problem - however, not this time, thus I am posting on the forum.

 

Every time I click "export to pdf" the process seems to work until the end (reaches page 28/28), then it force closes the entire PowerBI program.  Any solutions? 

 

See diagnostics below. 

 

Best,Dylan

Did you get the crash dialog that asks if you want to send a frown? If so you should definitely submit a frown feedback. You might want to ask this question in the Desktop forum as the crash details you posted are from Power BI Desktop. This forum is for "Power BI Report Server" which is the on-premise report server (which does not currently support the PDF export functionality).

Hi! I am not provided a crash dialogue, the entire program just crashes. Thank you for the recommendation, I will post in the PBI Desktop forum.
