Helper IExport to File for Power BI Reports
It requires premium because you can really consume a ton of resources if you were to generate files for a number of different reports and users. MS cannot bear that processing cost as a single PPU license could be used to generate thousands of pages a week, or even a day, and emailed to dozens of users, even those that have no Power BI license.
With Premium, you are renting the entire capacity, and 100% of your users can use the Power BI Free license. You do whatever you want to do with it. If you want to turn it into a report bursting canon, that is up to you.
But it makes no financial sense for that to happen on the shared capacities of Pro and PPU. It is one of the few things that PPU cannot do that Premium can, and financially, it makes sense it is set up that way.
It turns out that I was the problem...
Given that I have Power BI Premium-Per-User and a Fabric trial set up, I missed the step of assigning my Workspace to the Trial Capacity (Power BI -> Admin Portal -> Workspaces -> select the workspace, click the elipses and select "Reassign Workspace" -> Select Trial
My workflow now sends me the image of the Power BI report I wanted.
Thanks,

Cool. I was going to ask you about that when I saw your reply come through. Glad you have a solution working.

So, now I have another question - which I'm happy to post as a new topic - but off-hand, I am trying now to only convert one visual to a .png file. I've used the "name" for the visual from the JSON file in the .PBIX, but that doesn't seem to be working. Is this part actually a working feature?

That would be a better question for the Power Automate forum, as now you are getting into details of the component of the Flow. Microsoft Power Automate Community - Power Platform Community
