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.

Thanks ! this is working
However, the text in PDF still look blurry when at 0% zoom and need to zoom in the see clear text
It is not good as open directly from the website.
This happend only when viewing Power BI in web browser like chrome or edge.
Any Idea how to fix this? Thanks!
But everything is crystal clear in Iphone and Ipad.- christinepayton
Hmm I would try fiddling with the scaling options. In Power BI, in the View tab, Page view dropdown, I would try setting it to "actual size" for your report vs fitting to width/height, my guess is it's the scaling that's causing the blurriness... but it might also be happening just for the app visual embed if it's trying to scale that, I'm not sure. There's also a canvas app size scaling feature you could try turning off, though that one's usually off by default I think.
