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 that this is not especially useful. Any filter, slicer, etc. inputs applied by the user are cleared during .pdf creation. My user base just wants a way to export what's displayed on the screen.

I hope the pdf-functionality allows to export full report including all pages with selected filters applied ?
And I hope it will be possible to attach the pdf to an e-mail subscription and schedule it.

This would be very helpful, and even more if you could export BOOKMARKS as a PDF, so that pages do not need to be repeated unnecessarily!

Any timelines regarding this being available on Power BI Embedded?

Give some UPDATE on the STAUS please. So many of our projects depend heavily on this feature. When are we going to see some light on this????
