- 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.

I don't believe so, you can export it as a PDF. Might be able to do it with Power Automate and Power BI REST API.- Pikachu-Power

Via subscription you can send only one report page with email. Isnt there a possibilty to send an .png file which contains the whole report / all report pages?

This is the API call to use:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/exporttofile
You would use Flow (Power Automate) to implement this by calling a PowerShell script, etc. I'm not super up on Flow but you can ask in the Power Automate forums. You would then use the Flow to send the generated file.

Hi , Pikachu-Power
According to my research,common report does not support pdf subscription.
You could try to use email subscribtion with paginated reports.(Requires Premium license)
For more details ,you can refer to these articles.
