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

This is a game changer. I have already had to build external functionality to accomplish this
see https://lnkd.in/dndFjVa

But to allow my embeded users to simply print is a reason to keep PowerBI

RE: Export to PDF via Power BI Embedded API

'we are receiving more and more feedback that we should be able to print to PDF from our power bi embedded solution, noting;
- should be able to programatically define the output type (pdf, docx, xlsx, pptx, etc)
- export should print the entire visualisation, i.e. some visualisations have information available in a scrollable window, such as a bar chart with > 20 rows
- applied slicer filters must still be applied, i.e. the print / save must record the current visualisation state
- output should be accessible via 'save as' download
- optional override to print all pages or just the current report page

thanks
