Please add the capability to export Report Server PowerBI reports to formats like pdf, word, powerpoint. Some of this functionality exists in the service but please add it to Report Server.

We'd hoped we'd have a good way to bring this functionality to the server - however, after a lengthy evaluation of all the options and required investments, we're not planning to bring this feature to the server at this time. As a workaround, we suggest using the Export to PDF capabilities in Power BI Desktop for Report Server.

I can echoe the votes, this features is highly needed for customers that are not able to use the service given their nature of the business. Pls add it.

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

Dear Microsoft - 2 years have passed since you said not to this feature and yet in the Government I work for more and more people are getting on board with Microsoft Report Server (post Jan 2020) - we cant use the cloud version you seem to be inadvertently steering people towards using by way of not improving exporting visuals due to the nature of our business...

Microsoft won the apps race early on because of its capacity to build in features that people needed to speed up their work flow.
Not having an export feature for graphs is a frustrating break in functionality of this useful piece of software.
(perhaps we need more comments here and another go at this request).

I copy all the disappointment of the posts below. This feature is absolutely essential to have the BI reporting being accepted by the top management.

Seriously?!? Without the ability to create subscriptions and not being able to export easily to PDF to set up your own its like you want it to be unusable. Are you all really that out of touch with business needs and reality? Someone get an operational executive involved with your steering committee, because you nerds are missing the ball.

Is it possible to export a Power BI report (multiple tabs) from the report server to PDF?

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

This is bizarre, an exec level visualisation tool which won't allow export of graphics to a pdf pack. We have taken the power bi route now but this is a big blow to its credibility
