    JohnnyR paginated reports are completely different than reports (visualizations) created by Power BI desktop. You must recreate your report using report builder and then embed it in the Power BI desktop using a paginated report visual.

Hi JohnnyR 

 

You can use the Paginated Report Visual in the power bi desktop and select Create paginated report to go to the Power bi service.

Or you can click the (...) of the report in the power bi service and select Create paginated report.

Both of these methods make it quick and easy to create and export paginated reports, but they lack some functionality compared to using Report Builder.

Here for your reference:

Create paginated reports that you can export in the Power BI service (Preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

Or you can install the report builder to create paginated report:

Tutorial: Create a paginated report and upload it to the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
