scheduled export of a report to pdf

[s_opthof]

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.

Sending a hard copy of a report to a customer, partner or manager without granting full access to a dashboard is a critical need in my organization. Please add proper support for exporting or printing all pages of a report to a PDF. The current method of printing individual pages is insufficient and requires significant manual work.

Absolutely agree.. I think there are several power BI ideas now posted all with the request to export the report as PDF and/or JPEG etc. Would really be handy to have this feature in the desktop version. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[Rajkumar]

Yes , we are now looking for this feature.

It would be more helpful if you add this feature to Power BI Tool. We wanted to save as a report(which is having 3 pages in it) to PDF file. Many users are looking for this feature in out org.

This function is key to decide whether we use PowerBI for our service, obviously needed functionality with some limitation of attached data file size like 10 MB in the email.

This should be a no brainer, obviously needed functionality.

[trev_likes_PBI]

This would be a great feature to have. This is a mandatory requirement for some organisations. Something similar to nPrinting from Qlik would be ideal.

This feature is required asap, as our current tool sends data to mail box as per the job schedule..

Right now the only way to produce PDF files, or print dashboards is by uploading the data to powerbi.com and then performing those actions from there. Unfortunately, some of us CAN'T upload the data due to IT restrictions on data use, and on top of that it's really inconvenient to have to upload data just to produce a PDF file or print a page. Please add the ability to Power BI Desktop to produce PDF files directly. Without this I have a much harder time arguing the business case of Power BI, since most of the consumers of my reports don't want to learn to use Power BI, and they don't want to sign up for an online account. They just want to view PDF reports or printed copies. If I could produce PDF files from Power BI Desktop directly I'd have a much easier time convincing people to sign up for the online service, and I wouldn't be stuck at such a roadblock to adoption!

This has been proposed before, but has mistakenly been set to "Completed", so therefore I will raise this request again. Power BI Desktop is an extremely useful tool for visualizing data and for generating drilldown reports. However - a lot of executives (who are usually the ones we generate these reports for) prefers to get the reports in binary form. Thus we really could use a function to export the reports (pages and dashboards) to a useful format; for example PDF, HTML and PNG/JPG format.
