Power BI Embedded - Export as PDF

We are implemeting a button on our Web application to export the report as PDF. While we are able to capture the slicers applied by the end user (by using bookmarks) we are unable  to capture the parameters sent to the report from web app. We use parameters to implement data security and these parameter values are passed to the report from the application.

 

Currently we are using Export to file API.

      My Query is: How to pass parameters to 'Export to file' api?

       

      Currently it exports the entire content of report and not just what is being displayed to the user.


      Example- User A selects 'Region A' on the application. The app passes the selected Region A, to the report as a parameter and report gets filtered. However, but while exporting PDF all data is exported and not just for Region A.

        The API currently allows you to specify report pages and Bookmarks as parameters.  Individual filters are not yet supported (but are on the roadmap)
