Thank you for the advice but the power BI report is exact replica of the ones we have been using ever since our company started. We used to make powerpoint presentations on weekly basis with all necessary information. We decided to take a step forwards and automate the process. All the pages in my report are necessarily important and cannot be replaced. Now that I have made a dynamic report, we also need to archive the weekly reports. Thus, I need a static report.

    Create two versions, each under 50 pages. Export both manually.  Or archive the combined version manually.
