    Hi ajet-p_91 

    You can implement the need to download the report through the REST API or Power Shell, but these are not achieved through a download button. Because export as pdf this operation, each time the corresponding link is different, even for the same file. You can see my screenshot below. When you copy this link and open it in another web page, it will show file not found.

    Based on this situation, I would still recommend that you have the end customer export directly on report . End customers can export files directly from the report as long as they have read access, provided they have the corresponding license on their account.

Hi ajet-p_91 

The dashboard doesn't support export to PDF, so you can't set the button to export the whole dashboard directly. Even through the add button, the link to export the pdf is carried out in the background, in the case of obtaining the relevant URL, the operation is not possible.

You can only export as a pdf inside the report . The report itself has an export function, so there's no need to implement it by adding a button.
