What is the best way to brand paginated reports in report builder?

[jadulay]

Hi!

We are looking for some direction on the best way to brand paginated reports.  There does not appear to be the same ability to theme paginated reports in report builder as there is in power bi desktop.  Can someone recommend an approach that works for them?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi, @jadulay 

What's 'brand paginated reports' means?

There are many differences between paginated reports and ordinary reports, otherwise they would not need different software to create.  But you can embed paginated reports in desktop, so you can use the two together.

Like this:

By brand, i mean applying colors, fonts, styles, font weights that align to our company brand.  What's the best way to do that across many power bi paginated reports?

Hi, @jadulay 

Click on the blank to set the global properties of the report to unify the layout.

The Reusable Report Template recipe allows you to build Paginated reports and SQL Server Reporting Services reports in Visual Studio, starting with a new report template that allows you to easily switch-out a logo image, background, border and line colors and the report title in the header.

If you can create your own template, you can reuse it in each report.:
