Issue with new Paginated Report Visual when Embedded
- 2 years ago
I'm not sure when they added the fix - but in order for a paginated visual to work with embed you need to create a multi-resource authentication token. We are using this in our application for it to work.

We encountered a similar issue until we found that the PBI dataset (used as data source for the paginated report) was not supported for embedded (see link below). Yes, we were surprised and frustrated with Microsoft not yet supporting the PBI dataset source in embedded.
Embed paginated reports in your Power BI embedded analytics application - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
We resolved this issue by pivoting to a supported data source for embedded (e.g.: ODBC).
