The export to PDF feature of Power BI Desktop is awesome. Could we have this PDF support option via the embedded API to generate PDFs into a network location? Say, an UNC path. This would be fantastic for bespoke applications!

RE: Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API
Hi ,
Currently i dont see any feature to Send power bi reports as PDF via mail.
can we include functionality like that of PBRS or power BI robots.
Both are 3rd party tools , it would be great if we dont have to rely on 3rd party and can have Microsoft add such functionality.
Please consider to add this
Regards,
Mona.
RE: Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API
Is there any chances of introducing this feature in future?
RE: Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API
Yes, its definitly missing .. I love the Export to PDF fearure in the Desktop Version and really miss it in PBI Embedded.
RE: Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API
feels like power bi embedded isnt getting very much attention from MS even though its a premium capacity feature. Desktop has export to pdf, service has export to powerpoint, embedded has nothing!
RE: Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API
Ideally, a way to add specific filters that will be applied in the exported PDF would be great.
RE: Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API
We had a simple solution in place to generate PDF reports out of Power BI dashboards. We were doing it via PhantomJs where we load the dashboard into a browser and take a screenshot of what's seen on the view but even this method is not working in the new Power BI embedding. I am seeing these errorrs being emitted through the browser console.

RE: Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API
We want a comment system beside out embedded reports. The feedback we got is that some comments are done when the report is in a specific state that the readers of the comment can't reproduce.
A screenshot (of PDF) of the state of the report when the comment is made would be extremely helpfull!
