    It will be in a folder located here:

     

    C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\Power BI Desktop\print-job-f83bb979-960e-4def-b045-e7b6a7b3917f

     

    Obviously the GUID ad the end will be different each time.

Anonymous great question, I just exported and it immediately opened in a browser (as I'm using browser for reading PDF) and noticed it goes to some temp folder, once it was open in browser I was able to save it wherever I want, so it is storing in a temp folder.

 

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
