    Subscribing to PBIX reports as PDF is currently not supported. It’s in our planned backlog. We will get to it in coming months but no specific timeline to share yet.

Anonymous - The part that I am struggling with is getthing the authentication token. Am I missing it in the script where it explains how to do that or can you post your powershell code? I have found a number of blog articles on how to do it but they are all apparently out-of-date.

I found the full source of the script but I get this error when trying to get the authentication token:

Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationContext] does not
contain a method named 'AcquireToken'.

    And, I am still getting 403 forbidden when I skip the authentication piece for the app and just do it as myself. Now, I am not using a Premium workspace but I am also just trying to export as PNG which I should be allowed to do.

    Anonymous Perhaps try it with PNG instead of PDF. Supposedly you do not need Premium for PNG but I still can't get it to work.

    Hi Greg_Deckler ,

     

    Actually I haven't tried in Premium workspace yet. I need to get permission from client to implement it in Premium workspace, once i get the permission i will let you know.

    I was trying it in my local and i was getting one or more error and the below URL was somewhat helped me.

    http://dataap.org/blog/tag/export-to-pdf-rest-api/

     

    Now i am getting one error and i think it will get resolve if i try it in Premium workspace. I think that API will work only in Premium Workspace so i am getting that one error.

     

    I am unaware of authentication token part which you were facing. I am yet to face that scenario.

     

    Thanks and Regards,

    Prakash
