R Script Visual does not export to PDF

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?

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:
