If any layout (section of Cards) on the Page is greater than 11 inches high, the Export as PDF option is unavailable (since a PDF page is 11 inches high). The same is true for the Export to PowerPoint option. If you go into the Edit mode for the Page, a warning message appears as a banner at the top of the page as follows:

A warning message also appears next to the Card that is too tall, as follows:

Once you shorten all layouts displaying this warning, you will be able to export the page to PDF.

For more information about Dashboards, see Creating Dashboards.
