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/

Hi Chris/ Power BI Team, Any idea when will we have the ability to send reports via e-mail attachment through subscriptions? Our customers are very excited to see this feature.

Guys all you have to go is make a node js app that will embed the report into chromium browser and print it as pdf, from there you can use any mailing client like sparkpost to distribute it. I did this and it works.
