How to generate PDF from embedded power bi report

Hi, 
I have a website in which i embedded a power bi report using ppu license. 
My clients are asking whether we could export(download) the report shown in a pdf format or not. They don't have ppu license but have pro license. 

How can i export a pdf file from an embedded power bi report. Any suggestions. 
Thanks and regards, 

Sandy.

Hi @Chandu_sandy ,

 

To print a Power BI Embedded report, click on the “Print” icon in the top right corner of the report. This will open the print dialog box, where you can select your printer and adjust any print settings.
To export a Power BI Embedded report to PDF, click on the “File” menu and select “Export”. This will open the “Export” dialog box, where you can choose PDF as the file type and select a location to save the PDF.

For original post, you may refer to:

Print and/or export to PDF from PowerBI Embedded R... - Page 2 - Microsoft Fabric Community
Please note that when you print or export a Power BI Embedded report, the resulting PDF or printout will only include the data and visualizations that are currently visible on the screen. It will not include any additional pages or hidden data. If you want to include all data and visualizations in the PDF or printout, you may need to adjust the layout of the report or use the “Fit to page” option in the print dialog box.
