Ciao @asfdwd , 
yes, do you need to switch workarea to Premium per User. 
No, Power bi Pro user can't access to the report stored in a Premium per User work area.


I had the same your problem, i created a copy of the reports in another workarea /Premium per user) and i am using it only to send the pdf.

I hope this help!

Hi @asfdwd ,

I test it in my environment, it works well.

Please confirm the report is in a workspace backed by a Premium capacity or Premium Per User (PPU) license.

 

For more details, you can read related document: Email subscriptions for reports and dashboards in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

It is not in a Premium Capacity workspace ( I don't have it)

I only have PPU license. Previously I didn't know I have to mannualy change my workspace to PPU.(I thought once the PPU license is activated, settings will be automatically changed too.)

 

Now if I change my Workspace settings to PPU, will the other users with Pro liscense be able to view the report too?
