Question about Viewing PDF in Power BI without converting it to base64
You could use something like this technique in a canvas app, then embed that in your report.

You'd use the Power App visual in Power BI to set this up-- I've not actually tried this combo, but it sounds plausible.
Continued ContributorHi ViewP ,
Did you try to direct to a url when you click a button in power bi?
It does not show your pdf in the report but once you ckick the button after selecting the Branch Number, it will open pdf in your web browser.
Thanks.
Hi Dinesh_Suranga
Thanks for replying.
I looked into it , But user prefer to view it in power BI as they need to view other visual in the same page at the same time.

Hi ViewP ,
Did you try to show a web content in power bi?
Then you can try to load pdf to thet web content.
I used following video to learn to write back from PBI to Power Apps. You can use that to pass data from PBI to Power Apps.

ThanksDo you mean by html web viewer in Power BI ?
I tried that but since the files are located in sharepoint , microsoft reject the html web viewer request.
