    Building off of JoseAquino3's response:

    It seems a general workaround (for those who prefer to export from Power BI Desktop rather than the online service) is to adjust your canvas width and canvas height before exporting to be 1.5-times greater.

    1. Go to Canvas Settings: Page display settings in a Power BI report - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
      1. Note: in order to access the Format page/page dispaly/canvas settings in the Visualizations pane (on the right-hand side of your screen), you must ensure you have no objects (graphs, etc.) selected.  One way too be sure you have nothing selected is to click on an empty spot on your page.
    2. Change the "Type" to "Custom."
    3. Optional: Record the current values of height and width somewhere in case you want to restore the original settings.
    4. Adjust the height value to be 1.5-times the current height value.
      1. E.g., if your current canvas height value is 1000 px, change it to be 1500 px.
    5. Adjust the width value to be 1.5-times the current width value.
      1. E.g., if your current canvas width value is 1000 px, change it to be 1500 px.
    6. Repeat on all pages.
    7. Export to pdf (from Power BI Desktop).

    I am having the same issue but I was able to publish to PowerBI.com (my workspace) and then go out there and download the PDF version. I know it's not a fix but maybe it is a work around you can use for the short term.

    I got the same problem, I realize the print was 50% cutted.

    so.... my canvas size in powerbi was from 800px x 1300 px.

    Keeping the ratio of my canvas (8/13), I resize the canvas to 1200px x 1950px.

    In your powerbi will see the big canvas and empty space to right and bottom, but in the printing you will get the results as you expected.

    for the people that use 16:9 only select personalized with the following value:

    height (px):1080

    Width (px): 1920
