Advocate IIRemoving links when exporting the report to PowerPoint
Hi,
1. Is there any way of exporting the report containing multiple-hidden pages to PowerPoint WITHOUT preserving the links?
OR
2. Can that PowerPoint then be saved as PDF WITHOUT preserving the links?
The report is eventually meant to be shared with customers across multiple countries in PDF format, and those links don't need to be displayed there.
I know that there is a direct export to PDF function in PowerBI service, which works well, but it does not suit our needs, as there is in most instances the need to select only a few pages for specific customers (out of 30 or so), and that cannot be easily handled in Adobe Reader.
Thank you.

Unfortunatly, we don't have option to control that when you export the report to PowerPoint.
But you can delete the links/pages manually in PowerPoint before saving that PowerPoint as PDF.

Community Support Team _ Eason Has there been any update to this? Even though I have my report set to only read by direct access, when they export to PPT as an image the receiver can right click the image and open the report online. It seems like a terrible process to include links on images. In my case, we send specific reports to people and we don't want them to be able to access online to run the report under another usecase.
I know that I can right click each PPT page/image and remove the link, but that is a terrible design imo. When exporting to image only it should at least let you choose not to include the links when exporting rather than us finding this out after someone accessed it through the link.
