Hi. I don't think you can unless you use Power Bi Embed. Inside Power Bi the only way to export to pdf is from the menú on the top like this:

If you use Power Bi Embed you are inside a custom web and can add a button in anywhere you want.

You can also configure a script with an API Rest request automating the operation.

@ibarrau, is their any way to resolve this,with in Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service? 

Sorry but the only way to export is using the menú or the API.

You can't create a custom button for this.
