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/

Sounds like a good feature to me. I was asked about printing a report from the desktop in a meeting today.

Would be good to email subscribers to a report or dashboard once a data refresh has taken place and provide a link to the report/dashboard.

Had somebody ask about why the delivering to the service; and wanted to explain that PowerBI.com is the collaboration solution for PowerBI and the Desktop is the authoring solution

User should have the option in Power BI to export current dashboard in Interactive PDF (iPDF).

Interactive PDF can have the following features:

1- Easy to navigate
2- Easy to understand
3- Top navigation toolbar having different buttons allow you to navigate into the report
4- Easy drill down from one chart to another chart

You can see the demo video on the following link
