Export a report from PBI Server

Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to export a report from Power Bi Server with code or It's just possible with power BI pro or embedded.
I have a report and I want to export to PDF or images. 
Thanks.

Yes this is possible and you don't even need much code. The simplest way to do this is with URL parameters using the ReportServer endpoint (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/url-access-parameter-reference?view=sql-serv...)

 

Passing the url parameters something like the following would get you a PDF:
http(s)://<server>/ReportServer?<pathToReport>&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=PDF

 

And if your report has parameters you can pass those in on the url also.

HI @anthony_snk ,

maybe my solution is to easy but I would print it with the print function and configure the printer as PDF creator.

Is it possible to specify an file name for the exported pdf file?

No, it defaults to the name of the report and there is no option to specify an alternate name
