Automatic report refresh and send report as PDF
Community SupportHi AndreasAristo ,
>> I would then like to automatically refresh a report and then send a PDF export of the report to 5-10 pre-defined e-mail adresses every day.
For demand automatically refreshing a report, you may set schedule refresh, see more details :Configure scheduled refresh .
While it is not supported to automatically send PDF export of refreshed report email in in Power BI currently . There is an idea about this issue, please vote it up, Scheduling the dashboard reports into shared location or email by exporting into pdf/excel, and you can add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.
Best Regards,
Amy

Thanks v-xicai for answering. However, I thought I could use the approach explained on this site https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/export-power-bi-report-to-pdf-pptx-png-files-using-rest-api/ ? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the explained capability vs my need ?

AndreasAristo did you tried RestAPI based on the link I shared earlier? What is holding on to test it?
parry2k Someone told me the report need to be created as a Paginated Report and export to PNG, in order to work. I cant find an example of my example (automatic refresh, then automatic send report in PDF format, reader dont need Power Bi PRO)
