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/

Shoud be a way to export the report (dashboard) to PDF archive.
Maybe at "Save", you should have the option to save in .PDF. A interface screen would open and aks if you want to convert the first page or all or specifics pages.

The data in the dashboard should be easier to export.
When saving as a PDF the logos and colors don't export.
When saving as a powerpoint the data doesn't transfer in charts but in images that are broken.

There should be a standard fit to screen save options for Word, Excel, Pdf, Jpg, Etc.

It shouldn't be necessary to even request this.

The inability to print is a deal breaker at my job. I'd love to push for Power BI, but HIPAA and other confidentiality concerns mean that we can't use the service.

It will be great to create a enviroment for PDF report from a Dashboard like Publisher.

You should be able to print and create PDFs in the Power BI Desktop version.

We love visualizations but hard copy still has a place, and it's an essential part of any communications package. Using snippet or print screen and then pasting somewhere else leaves the audience with an impression that PowerBI is an unfinished product. Hope that printing will be in a future update very soon.
