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/

RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
We're using Power BI as a lightweight ETL tool to perform transformations on data from various sources, but need to be able to automatically export the transformed output. Power Automate would be a perfect end-to-end solution if we could just export the data from Power BI automatically.

is this for external users as well?

Bring it to pro as well.
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Currently a report subscription that sends an email with a paginated PDF of the report attached is only available in PowerBI Premium, correct? Are there plans to bring that ability to PowerBI Pro?
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
the idea was started in 2016 and till date it hasn't been added.
I doubt Microsoft will do it ?
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Whether this is delivered through a MS Flow (MS Automate) functionality or delivered directly in PowerBI Web, this is a must have. Being able to have reports being generated for a PDF opens up opportunities for automation with teams, projects and clients. Licensing seems to be a risk to consider.
I feel this request/idea also crosses over into the debate about the need for a "report viewing" license (read only) to view reports. See - https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/6769950-create-an-read-only-and-external-license-tier
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Fully agree with thi sone "An MSFlow connector to the data would also be great. Currently you can query alarms, which is an interesting thing, but I don't know of any application that uses the alarm function seriously."
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Hi,
We are thinking of using PBI Embedded for our Customer-facing app, and the only thing currently blocking us from going forward is the inability of the Embedded to export to PDF.
If possible, please add this (as I believe there are many more who'd love this to become a part of the PBI Embedded).
Thanks and kind regards.

My boss is asking for this so I need this because my job depends on it. Please make it happen this year or I'm gone.
Need csv or/and excel support. Thanks!
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
If your report coming in more than one page then your export to pdf option does not present any other page except the current preview one.
