Allow End-Users to Export Public Embeded Report to PDF

[rem-e]

I am attempting to make an embeded report availble for download by end users on a public website.

Is this possible using the API without a Premium licensce since it is an embeded report?

Also for someone unfamiliar with using the API, is there any easy way to achieve this capability?

Thanks!

Hi @rem-e 

See this article on export to PDF from Power BI Embedded. https://medium.com/bi-helper/power-bi-embedded-report-distribution-to-external-users-1cf46fe1303b

You can use an external tool like BI Helper to build an integration with your web application to achieve your stated goal, while at the same time ensuring access to user-specific data using your app login.
