Now that we have a great embed report/tile feature that can be used to embed reports/tiles in custom apps, it would be great to have some REST APIs that can facilitate printing and download of the reports into either PDF/Excel etc.

You can call the REST API to generate a PDF or PNG of the report and print that: Export Power BI reports to PDF, PPTX, or PNG files using REST API | Azure updates | Microsoft Azure

RE: Print and Export Embedded Reports through REST APIs
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 the state of the report when the comment is made would be extremely helpfull!

We desperately need this as a selling point to the company. No excel export, no adoption. help!
RE: Print and Export Embedded Reports through REST APIs
I am attempting to promote Power BI in our corporate environment and have created a number of embedded reports. One feature that all users have asked for is to export out the data in excel/csv format to facilitate a request for action on what the data is showing.
In its current iteration, users interact with the data, set filters as required, and then when they have identified an actionable pattern they want to export the data in excel/csv format so they can forward the list with all items meeting the filter pattern for action out to the appropriate group.
They do not want to interact with the pbix file itself as an additional step.
Regards,
Kerry

Please, please, please add this feature! Hard to sell this to customers if they can't do this.
RE: Print and Export Embedded Reports through REST APIs
It is a very basic requirement for any reporting tool to have download options like PDF, Excel, Data on Reports and Dashboards. I couldn't promote Power BI to our clients without these basic download options. Not all users can login into Power BI Service or web application to check the reports, they need the downloads to review data. Please add these as early as possible.
RE: Print and Export Embedded Reports through REST APIs
Any possibility in near future for exporting the dashboard to pdf or excel?
RE: Print and Export Embedded Reports through REST APIs
Any update on when this will be implemented?
RE: Print and Export Embedded Reports through REST APIs
this would be brilliant. Download a table or matrix as a CSV is possible but it looks rather messy when opened in Excel. If it could be downloaded directly into an Excel table or Printing to PDF or inserting into a Word table, that would be awesome.
Alas, whilst I suggest they all use the Power BI app online, my clients still like to do things the old-fashioned way and pull everything into Word and Excel. Currently they are mostly using the Snipping Tool.... oh dear. :-)
