Good news:
If you don't specify the pages there, it'll print the full report every time.

It also seems to default to "en-us" as the locale if you don't specify.

It actually needs very minimal configuration

Just giving it a format in the export request is enough for the configto be done and complete.

can you provide a code snippet of this part so that I can see?

 

var powerBIReportExportConfiguration = new PowerBIReportExportConfiguration
{
Settings = new ExportReportSettings
{
Locale = "en-us",
},

Pages = pageNames?.Select(pn => new ExportReportPage(pageName = pn.ToString())).ToList(),

};
var exportRequest = new ExportReportRequest
{
Format = fileFormat,
PowerBIReportConfiguration = powerBIReportExportConfiguration,
};

    var fileFormat = FileFormat.PDF
    var exportRequest = new ExportReportRequest
    {
    Format = fileFormat
    };

     

    here you go. this should work

      So I figure out my issue.  I was trying to export as .PNG.  When I did .PDF it works just fine.  Apparently there is a setting that need to be set in the admin portal for .PNG but I can't find it.  Does anyone have any luck enabling .PNG?

        Thanks, changing the export file format to .PDF resolved this issue for me as well!
