Export to PowerPoint without Alt Text or Links
I have pulished reports which our team are exporting to PowerPoint to add more customizable text fields, then saving to PDF. Since these reports will ultimately be static, we have no need for each slide/image to contain a link to the report (which isn't accessible to our end users anyways) nor do we need the generic Alt Text that is added during export which states all the various visual components on each slide/image (i.e. "This slide contains the following visuals: multiRowCard, textbox, card. Please refer to the notes on this slide for details."). I've tried exporting to PDF directly which excludes the links/Alt Text but this isn't a viable workaround as our team needs to add custom text to each slide/image.
Is there a way during the export or directly in my PBI file to remove or disable to Alt Text and/or links for the master report? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I ran into the same problem as you and I just found out that the Alt Text showing up in the power point was indeed created in Power Point. You just need to right-click on any one of the image exported out from the Power BI and select "Edit Alt Text". On the right side, you should see the "Alt Text" section pops out and there goes the descriptive text that showing up on individual slides. You just need to remove those text from there and do the necessary to export the slides to PDF will do.
Hope it helps!Hi Anonymous ,
You can try to embed Power BI reports in PowerPoint :https://devscope.wordpress.com/2018/06/14/embed-power-bi-reports-powerpoint/#:~:text=On%20PowerPoint%20for%20Office%20365,many%20times%20as%20you%20want.
or you can try to copy single visual to powerpoint.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-copy-paste#manage-use-of-copying-a-visual-as-an-image

Thanks for the reply v-deddai1-msft, but these are just workarounds and don't solve my problem.
Are you aware of anyway to avoid the issues?
