PDF Export temporary folder

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

When i export to PDF from the desktop version for some reason the PDF is not opening. Where is the temp folder that keeps these files located?

Thanks.

It will be in a folder located here:

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\Power BI Desktop\print-job-f83bb979-960e-4def-b045-e7b6a7b3917f

Obviously the GUID ad the end will be different each time.

In case you want to change that destination folder to, for example, downloads. Would this be possible?

@Anonymous great question, I just exported and it immediately opened in a browser (as I'm using browser for reading PDF) and noticed it goes to some temp folder, once it was open in browser I was able to save it wherever I want, so it is storing in a temp folder.

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
