How do I create a PDF of the EMBAC Dashboard?

Report designers create most Power BI dashboards and reports for use online. They look amazing on any device used to view them. However, when it comes time to print the content, you might not get the results you want.

You can make changes to your browser and print settings to adjust the print job, but to ensure your printouts match what you see in your browser, consider exporting to PDF, then print the PDF instead.

Print all Dashboard Pages

Please note that this method exports the current state of the dashboard. If you want to include specific filters or slicers, apply those before exporting the dashboard to PDF. Also, ensure that you are using the Power BI service, as the Power BI Desktop version doesn't have the direct 'Export to PDF' option. In Power BI Desktop, you need to publish the report to the Power BI service first and then follow the above steps.

You can print all pages in a Power BI dashboard at once by exporting the entire dashboard to PDF. Here are the steps to do this:

1. Open the Power BI dashboard you want to print.

2. Click on File located on the top-left corner of the window.

3. Select Export to PDF from the drop-down menu. Power BI will export the entire dashboard, including all pages, to a PDF file.

4. Save the PDF file to your desired location on your computer.

5. Open the PDF file using a suitable PDF viewer (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader).

6. Press Ctrl+P or navigate to File > Print in your PDF viewer to open the Print dialog.

7. Adjust your print settings, if necessary, and click Print.

Print a Page

Creating a PDF file from a page in Power BI involves utilizing the print function, which supports saving files in PDF format. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Open your Report in Power BI:
   Open the Power BI report that you wish to export to PDF.

2. Go to File Menu:
   Click on File in the upper left corner of the Power BI window to open the file menu.

3. Print the Report:
   In the file menu, click on Print (Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+P).

4. Choose Printer:
   A dialogue box will pop up for print settings. Select Microsoft Print to PDF or Save as PDF option under the printer dropdown list.

5. Configure Settings:
   Adjust the settings as you see fit. You can alter the layout to Portrait or Landscape, adjust the paper size, etc.

6. Save the Report:
   Click on Print again to proceed to save the report. You will be prompted to choose a location to save your PDF. Choose your preferred location and click Save.

After following these steps, you should have successfully created a PDF of your desired report page in Power BI. Remember, Power BI exports the report view as it looks currently. So, apply all necessary filters or changes before exporting.

The process may slightly vary based on your operating system, but the general concept remains the same – use the print function to save your desired page as a PDF.
