Hi everyone,
I have got the information that the preview may be shortened for Power BI Gen2 customers (customers which have already upgraded the Power BI Service version to Gen2) by a couple of months. So, go ahead and upgrade (for free): https://powerbi.microsoft.com/de-de/blog/announcing-preview-availability-of-improved-analytics-with-...

Hey @dibaSFP ,
take a look at Microsoft PowerAutomate.
There you can export a Power BI Report to a PDF. This you could trigger to start daily automatically:

There is another reason why this solution is problematic for some. Doing the "Print to PDF" via Power Automate requires a licensing of "premium capacity" which comes currently at a cost of 5000 USD per month.
Nice for those who already have this license but a bit on the rediculously expensive side for others who simply want to generate 1 PDF a month.
Dear selimovd,
thank you, I will take a look into the feature! But I guess it will not solve the problem for our Power BI Embedded web application and its numerous users.

Hello @dibaSFP ,
why not?
You can start the export via PowerAutomate with the RESTAPI:
Calling Microsoft Flow from your application | Power Automate Blog
This can start the creation of a PDF with Power Automate and send it directly to the logged in user.
Maybe I forgot a point, but for me it seems to be a solution.
You could also think to create a paginated report and send it as PDF, this might be an easier way.
If you need any help please let me know.

Hi Denis,
why not?
In general, you provided a technical solution on how to export & send PDF reports to users. Thank you! The solution may also work in a Power BI Embedded scenario, if - for our solution - a service principal account is able to consume the Power Automate service.
Still, I will not consider it as a viable alternative, as an additional 500$/month Power Automate subscription would be needed (while we already pay 10k/month for Power BI Service). It may be 10$/month, if one service principal account counts as "one user" in a Power Automate subscription and that this "user" can then be used to trigger 1000nds of exports/month. Both highly unlikely.
But thank you for pointing out an interesting technical solution!

Hey @dibaSFP ,
fair enough, I see your point.
To be honest then I don't know any other alternative at the moment.
I keep this in mind, in case I find another solution I will update this post here.
