How do I display a PDF in PowerBI

‎11-16-2018 07:20 AM

I would think if MS built the capability to save as PDF that they would have also allowed us to render a PDF.

@Anonymous,

In Power BI Desktop, you can use PDF connector to import data from PDF files, for more details, please take a look at the following article.

Hey,

 

currently, it's not possible to render the content of a pdf inside a Power BI report.

 

Maybe you might consider an idea on ideas.powerbi.com

 

Regards,

Tom
