Testing export to PDF/PowerPoint

Hi all,

 

Do you know if there's a way to test the export to PDF/PowerPoint feature without already being certified?

What I want to do is add a watermark to my visual if there is no have a valid license key when doing the export. I noticed the

powerbi.common.CustomVisualHostEnv.ExportReportHost enum, so I assume this should work, but as far as I know, there's no way to actually test that it works until after a the visual has been certified? 
 
-Thanks!

Hi,

 

Yes, but it does not seem like the host environment is set to "ExportReportHost" in Power BI Desktop during export, so I'm not able to test if it works in web / service.

The best thing would be if there was some kind of API to get notified when the user performs an export so I could apply a watermark, but as far as I know, there's no such API or event being raised by Power BI?

You can export from PBIX to PDF on Power BI Desktop? No service required.
