Exporting power bi reports in pdf - where files are stored

[jaryszek]

Hi Guys,

i am using PPU license and want to send powershell request to generate pdf report. 
1) Where it will be stored ?
2) Can i change location of storing it using API?

Best,
Jacek

Hi. The thing is, you can't.

Exporting a Power BI report to file using the exportToFile API, is not supported for Premium Per User (PPU).

You need premium to use that specific request of the Rest API.

When you use the API, the export would be like downloading. You take the file in the code and you can for example store it locally on the VM running the code.

I hope that helps,

thank you @ibarrau .

So exporting to file is available only for premium per capacity?

Best,
Jacek

Hey! yes. It's for capacity and it must be gen2 capacity.

You can read more about the considerations in here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to#considerations-and-limitation...

I hope that helps
