I am not sure why you have taken Paginated Report into Desktop

you can set parameteres within Power BI Report Builder itself.

    I did it because we already have a Power BI dashbaord with slicers, and we wanted to extend this dashboard capability by providing a way to use the slicer to send parameter value to paginated report and hide Paginated report's native parameters (Power BI had no capability to render pixel perfect pre-structured paginated reports that you can export to PDF and Word). 
    I am aware that paginated report has its own "parameters", but they do not have the same "look and feel" as the slicers in Power BI. Supposedly, you can link slicers and parameters (I did it), but the functionality is not working smoothly when you have optional slicers and multi select is allowed. 
    For now, I just don't use the slicers from power BI, but provide a button from insude Power BI so the user can load a paginated report with its own parameters, which user enters separately ;(.
