R Script Error Export to PDF when published to Power BI Service

I have written the below R Script code for exporting data to PDF.
library(gridExtra)
pdf("D:\\Test\\data.pdf",width=22,height= 60)
grid.table(dataset)
dev.off()
 
When running from Power BI Desktop I am able to export to PDF over "D:\\Test\\data.pdf" local drive, but when published to Power BI Service I am getting the below "Script Runtime Error".
 
Error in PDF("D:\\Test\\data.pdf",width=22, height=60); cannot open file 'D:\Test\data.pdf'
 
And also tried with Sharepoint path, couldn't upload and got the below error.
 
Error in PDF("https:\\test.com") :
invalid 'File' argument (https:\\test.com")
Note: Given sample link
 
Please help me with the relative path that has to be configured inorder to export as PDF to cloud or local drive.
