scheduled export of a report to pdf

Submitted by on ‎04-14-2016 09:25 AM
It would be nice if there is an option to have a scheduled export of a report to PDF. A nice to have feature would be to directly e-mail it to people so they are being notified of the latest report.

I really don't want to loose votes for must have features. If we are able to put pictures on report we should be able to print them too...

This will be a great feature to have on PowerBI desktop. Please consider.

To save the dashboard or any report designed by POWER BI to use it in most of forms, I hope to add the service of exporting a copy of work as image or PDF, Thanks,

If the ability to print is added, I could use BI desktop!

I think it is worth noting that the community doesn't just want a simple 'export to PDF' solution. PDF's need to be customisable with headings, titles, logos etc. Please learn from Tableau.

Printing from the desktop app would be a huge benefit. It would also be good to be able to use it in an enterprise context without the heavy enterprise guts, for users who are tied into other solution and system architectures.

Another thought; Excel is fantastic at making nice looking charts, hopefully PBI can leverage some of this strength. The charts printed from the web interface look alright, but the pdfs suffer a bit.

Printing from the service looks terrible and we cannot deliver reports to our client in this way. At this time the cleanest way to provide a pdf is by making a pdf out of a screenshot. We lose detail there as well, though at least we don't have the issue of things overlapping or not showing up the same way they do in the report. I cannot stress enough how important it is for us to be able to provide a professional clean pdf version of our reports. Some of our clients are not willing to take the time to sign up for the power bi service or are generally reluctant to move forward with technology.
