I have the opposite problem. I have a 71 page report which I want to export in it's entirety to PDF or Powerpoint and in trying I get this message: 

Seriously Microsoft?

Having a workaround to be able to print 1-50 and then 51-71 would help me but as this tread suggests, this is currently not a feature 😞

    What you have to do is split your report into one that is 50 pages long and another that is 21 pages, then you print both and combine.

      Hello emmalucas ,

       

      Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortuntately this will not work in our case as the report originates from 1 Power BI desktop file (with report pages and data embedded). The data for this one does not come from a data lake or database solution. 
      I know that it's possible to have the data in 1 file and report pages in 1 or more other files, but it will make working with this more cumbersome as well as make it more difficult for users to access the pages which are part of a Power BI App on the service.
      I'm hoping for a feature update which would simply permit the user to choose which pages to print (or of course the limit of 50 pages lifted) but when this will happen in the big question of course.

       

      Regards,

      Walter
