Cloud-based gateway
Hi rachelmatzel ,
The responses by Hariharan_R are correct and the link that was sent is the correct link. PDF connector does not work in Premium capacity unless a gateway is created.
While you are connecting to a SharePoint List Online (which does not need a gateway) you are getting a PDF file from that List. To read that PDF, you have to have the connector set in a gateway.
In this case, the point is not WHERE you getting it from, it is WHAT you are getting.
If you want to see the data from a PDF file, and you are in Premium, you have to set up a connector. Whether that file is sitting in OneDrive, SharePoint or otherwise, you will need to get the gateway setup.
Let us know if that resolves this for you!

Hi collinq,
Thank you! My follow up question would then be are there any resources that show how to set this gateway up considering it is not "on-prem" ? The only resources I can find are for gateways from local desktop or on premise database server.
I appreciate the help!

Hi rachelmatzel ,
This might be the link you saw: Power BI Gateway | Microsoft Power BI But, you use the standard mode and install it on a server or other "managed device" that stays "on" all the time so that the scheduled refresh will work.
