Customizing Header and Footer text in Embedded Power BI print functionality

Hi,
we are using Power Bi Embedded print functionality.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/powerbi/powerbi-client/report.report#powerbi-client-report-report-print 

 

 

// Get a reference to the embedded report HTML element
var embedContainer = $('#embedContainer')[0];
// Get a reference to the embedded report.
report = powerbi.get(embedContainer);
// Trigger the print dialog for your browser.
try {
  await report.print();
}
catch (errors) {
  Log.log(errors);
}

Thanks

    Thank you for the quick reply.
    The paginated report is out of the question with us.
    We have a lot of power bi reports that are already in use by customers.
    We use "Live Connection to Analysis Services" and "row level security".
    Is there at least one way that the text "Microsoft Power BI" in header  can be changed when printing .
    I understand that Microsoft is doing an advertisement for its product.
    But we use a paid "Embedded Power BI" and can decide the same what to display.

    Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Anonymous ,

    the solution does not work.
    The report does not appear in Preview window.

     

     

     

                var printContents = document.getElementById(reportDivId).innerHTML;
            //Calling Print Window
            var printWin = window.open('', '', 'fullscreen=yes');
            printWin.document.header = "BRZ 365 BI";
            printWin.document.footer = "My footer";
            //Opening Print Window
            printWin.document.open();
            //Adding Content in Print Window
            printWin.document.write(printContents);
            //Closing Print Window
            printWin.document.close();
            //Focusing User to Print Window
            printWin.focus();
            //Calling Default Browser Printer
            printWin.print();
            //Closing Print Window
            printWin.close();

     

     

     


    A "Power BI Client API" must always be used.

     

     

     

    ...
  report = powerbi.get(embedContainer);
  await report.print();

     

     

     

    This is definitely a bug of "Power BI Client API". 

    The report has a name.
    Why is this name not displayed in the header area during printing?

     



    Best Regards
