Print pdf exported from Power BI online: "Contact the owner of the file to give you permissions"

[laganlee]

Hi

When I export a file from Power BI online, and then try to print it, I get:

"Contact the owner of the file to give you permissions"

Can print any pdf file ok that is not exported from Power BI

Have tried Edge, Chrome etc. to print.

Hi @laganlee ,

• Reports that are owned by a user outside your Power BI tenant domain, such as a report owned by someone outside your organization and shared with you, can't be published to PDF.

• You can share a dashboard with someone outside of your organization--someone who isn't in your Power BI tenant. However, that user can't export the shared dashboard's associated reports to PDF. For example, if you're aaron@contoso.com, you can share with cassie@northwinds.com. But cassie@northwinds.com can't export the associated reports to PDF.

•  You will only see this option if you've already configured the PDF driver in your browser.

If it still does not help, please provide screenshots with the error.
