I also would like to see this feature.
Dashboards seem to be a great way to collect up relevant data for a particular audience. However, some readers still prefer a PDF view email, that they can print rather than review online.
I have found a work around, use the print option on the dashboard you want to generate a report from. Then use the zoom feature on your browser to increase to 140% or 150% zoom. This will re-size the view you see of the dashboard in print preview mode, and you can then print to PDF.
It works,... but to be honest there really should be a simpler way where the user can select 'create pdf' and this all happens automatically, including sizing as needed to avoid font size < 12 (well this could be up to the user to specify).
Ideally the PDF would then retain hyperlink capabilities. I would use this to have a link to the dashboard - therefore hopefully converting the readers overtime to using the dashboard live, once they understand that is a better way to see the information.
