Print as PDF?

Hi,   Is there a way to print a Power BI Desktop report as a PDF? I know could get a print screen, but I wonder if I can print it directly as a PDF.   Thanks!   Brenda

    brendaivett The out of box functionality doesn't support that from the Desktop. The print option is only available from the Power BI Service.

Hi

 

I have this same problem. It's very frustrating as I have to do a screenshot of every page of a dashboard to produce a 'moment in time' record of the figures.

 

Would be great to know if there is a solution now?

 

Thanks

    As originally stated and it still is true today, there is no true print function, Anonymous stated it best, Microsoft should state Print Screenshot and not simply Print as multiple pages will not print and is quite useless as a print function.  Need to re-think forward use of Power BI as a reporting tool as it is only a fancy graphical display and does not satisfy basic reporting functions such as printing, yes our modern world still needs to do this.  The option of exporting to Excel and then printing is well quite funny, if you have used it I think you will understand the sarcasm.
