I've run into a frustrating issue with Looker Studio that just started recently. My report loads perfectly in the browser. Data from Google Ads and GA4 populates correctly after selecting accounts in the drop-down controls. However, when I try to download the report as a PDF, I get a blank page. None of the selected accounts appear, the controls themselves are also empty, and no data is displayed in the downloaded version.
The issue only happens during download. Everything looks and works fine when viewing the report in looker studio. As a workaround, I’ve been using Ctrl+P (print to PDF) from the browser, which works, but it's not ideal for client-ready reports.
Has anyone else run into this? From what I can tell, it seems like the interactive controls (e.g. account selectors) aren't being respected or processed correctly when the report is exported. I suspect it's a recent bug, since this wasn’t happening before.
