Subscribing to Paginated PDF Report as Premium User not possible

[Felix1984DD]

Dear Community,

I do have a Power BI Premium License but am not able to subscribe to paginated reports in any format, like it is described in this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-paginated-report

The subscription interface looks pretty much like a free-user. Any idea why? Thanks a lot for your help.

Best

Hi @Felix1984DD 

If your license is PPU ,  you can subscribe to paginated reports in any format , but are you violating some restrictions that prevent you from subscribing as a PDF?

Dear @v-yetao1-msft ,

thanks a lot for your prompt reply. That said, I do not think it really solves the problem/answer, I am afraid.

Please see screenshot

- As per screenshot I have a single user premium license

- As per screenshot I am not able to subscribe to paginated reports to receive PDFs via Email.

Hope this clarifies. Would appreciate your support.
Thanks

Hi @Felix1984DD 

Power BI Premium license is for capacity not for user , that means if you want to create contents in workspaces(not My workspace) , you must have Pro license , then you can create reports,dashboards , etc . If you have Premium license , you can share your contents with free users so that other users can access your contents without purchasing licenses. This is the difference between the two types of licenses .

So, you have to get a Pro license first .
