    hi, vbrkoppula 

    Users can set up an email subscription for dashboard or report following the guide in this article, Power BI will email a snapshot of the dashboard/report to users' inbox based on the schedule that users set, but PDF format is not possible for now.

    For your requirement, you could post your new idea in Power BI ideas and make this feature coming sooner .

     

    By the way: If BI Helper could fit your requirement.

    Hi v-lili6-msft and vbrkoppula, 

     

    Thank you for referring to BI Helper https://bihelper.tech/ to automate the generation of  PDF / PPTX reports from Power BI (Pro and Premium), with slicers and filters applied.

    With BI Helper, you can select report pages to print, schedule and generate multi-page PDF / PPTX reports and email them to your users. BI Helper has an option to include matrix and table visuals as Excel files, and lots of other advanced features. Our users routinely run reports of up to 30 pages, with the process fully automated from report generation to delivery. 


    BI Helper is simple to configure and use with your Power BI reports and dashboards. It is secure and scalable (hosted on AWS) and offered on a monthly subscription. We offer users a 14 day free trial - do let us know how it works for you.
