It would be nice if there is an option to have a scheduled export of a report to PDF. A nice to have feature would be to directly e-mail it to people so they are being notified of the latest report.

In addition to the support we have for paginated reports already, we have started the work to support this for Power BI reports and expect it to land by the end of the calendar year in the Power BI service.  Like for paginated reports, it will be a Premium feature and will be available to customers with either Premium capacity or if you have the new Premium per user license, which will be available at no cost to all users during the public preview period.  You can read more about getting priority access to the public preview for your tenant at this link - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/blog/priority-access-sign-up-for-power-bi-premium-per-user-public-preview-now-available/

I agree with everyone - this needs to be part of Power BI desktop.

Power BI should have the same print capabilities as Excel. Everything else in Power BI desktop is ahead of its time ... lack of print capability puts it way way behind.

Power BI service or Power BI Desktop should allow to export the Report page (s) or dashboard to a PDF, Excel or HTML format. Which can be used to send via email or print it for any executive meetings (it is a common practice in the industry)

This is highly requested functionality at your company. Any updates?

Allow multi-page Print like we have in SSRS...

Honestly, the ability to print out my work and bring it to a meeting shouldn't be the "killer feature" that keeps people using Tableau over Power BI.

Being able to print from desktop is beyond fundamental. Please add it--C'mon!
