I have a report on a premium service that uses R Script visuals. I need to send out a PDF copy of the report monthly but the R script visuals do not export to the PDF. I get this error.
is there anyway to fix this error or to export the report a different way where the R visuals work?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Alex_Bell
No, this is a known limitation of PDF export, R and Python visuals aren't currently supported. In the PDF, these visuals are blank and display an error message.
see: Export reports to PDF - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
Your best alternative is to use a screen capture (WIN+S) to copy and paste the visual into a document.
Hope this helps

Thank you for the response.
Unfortunately this does not help but I will try and work around it.
I have found that you can export to PDF from the desktop version so that might be my temporary countermeasure.
I know this is an old thread but if anyone else finds this like I did, there's an open suggestion to Microsoft for this. I need this option too, screenshot of 50+ pages isn't ideal. The suggestion to Microsoft is very old too but maybe we can pick it back up and get the votes:
