    Hi analyticsrookie ,

     

    Please try report Subscription and Flow.

    Reports under the pro license can only be exported as image previews instead of PDF.

    So we can use flow to convert images into pdf.

    Sample:

    If you have 2 pages in the report, then you need to create two subscriptions. The first subscription is for previewing the first page and the second subscription is for previewing the second page.

     

    Best Regards,

Hello analyticsrookie ,

 

Yes, It can be done using power automate(with pro ) and python.

 

A) Using Power Automate :

    1. Open Power Automate and create a new scheduled or instant flow.

     2.Use the "Power BI - Export to File for Power BI Reports" action.

    3. Choose the workspace, report, and page you want to export.

    4. For file format, select PDF.

    5.Add a step to save the file to OneDrive, SharePoint, or send via email.

 

your flow will look like 

Make sure to set proper connections and parameters along with schedule:

 

 

This will work only in Power BI Service not in desktop

 

Using Python

You can write custom python code to achieve the same 

 

I hope this helps .
