Export to PDF needs to include all rows in a Table or Matrix visualization

The new feature Export to PDF appears to be just a screen capture of each report - whatever is currently being shown on the screen is what is captured in the pdf. When a report has a Table or Matrix visualization on it with rows that scroll beyond what is shown, these are not captured in the pdf. Need to have all the data show up in the pdf.

Much needed feature!

The ability to export the full view of a matrix is critical. An unfiltered, multi-category, row-based KPI visual based on the Power KPI Matrix is very long. Screen capturing (with visible scrollbars, no less!) only the top 5% of the visual is as comical as it is impractical.

PDF generation is necessary to use the system, very important for our company.

This has caused an incredible amount of confusion for our newer users of PBI... the lack of a real export option for tables at the top of the screen makes for massive amounts of confusion.

Table and Matrix visuals often scroll. The ability to export to Excel is not enough as functionality such as conditional formatting doesn't pull through. Also Matrix visuals look quite different than the output in Excel.

The lack of a real export to PDF of Matrix or Table visuals is a major shortcoming that is holding up our introduction of this technology for our clients.

When can we expect this? It is a major short coming of Power BI.
Please set some expectations with us.

This is a limitation with current option export to PDF, where user is complaining that they are not able to view the data when exported to PDF

This is what we need to go Power BI all the way and skip Reporting service!
