Export to PDF - Export Current Page by Default

[LD2022]

Isit possible to to default the Export into PDF option setting to export the Current Page always in a multi-page report without manually selecting the "Only export current page" checkbox manually?

Hi @LD2022,

There is no out-of-box solution to your question for Power BI Pro users. You have to manully select the page each time. 

There are third-party tools which provide this functionality, and by extension allow you to burst your Power BI reports as PDFs with filter and slicer values applied. See if BI Helper https://bihelper.tech meets your use case.

Hi. There is an alternative if you have a dedicated capacity. Then you can use "Export to File" request from the Power Bi Rest API. In there you can set extension to PDF, current state and pick the page.

You can read more about that here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/export-to-file-in-group

Otherwise it's not possible to automatically export to pdf. An approach is subscribe to that page and receive an email with a picture and link of the report.

I hope that helps,
