send report in pdf
Hi all,
when I send reports via subscription the receiver gets it in .png file and a link to the report. isnt it possible to send the report in pdf?
Thanks.
- Subscribing to PBIX reports as PDF is currently not supported. It’s in our planned backlog. We will get to it in coming months but no specific timeline to share yet.

- I don't believe so, you can export it as a PDF. Might be able to do it with Power Automate and Power BI REST API.
Via subscription you can send only one report page with email. Isnt there a possibilty to send an .png file which contains the whole report / all report pages?
Hi Greg_Deckler ,
DO we have any blog or documentation from microsoft on how to this with Power Automate and Power BI REST API.
Thanks in Advance
Hi Greg_Deckler ,
Could you please let me know on how to Automatically Export Power BI Report in PDF with the help of Power Automate and Power BI REST API.
It would be very helpful for us.
Thanks in Advance

This is the API call to use:

You would use Flow (Power Automate) to implement this by calling a PowerShell script, etc. I'm not super up on Flow but you can ask in the Power Automate forums. You would then use the Flow to send the generated file.
Hi , Pikachu-Power
According to my research，common report does not support pdf subscription.
You could try to use email subscribtion with paginated reports.(Requires Premium license)
For more details ,you can refer to these articles.
