Please add the capability to export Report Server PowerBI reports to formats like pdf, word, powerpoint. Some of this functionality exists in the service but please add it to Report Server.

We'd hoped we'd have a good way to bring this functionality to the server - however, after a lengthy evaluation of all the options and required investments, we're not planning to bring this feature to the server at this time. As a workaround, we suggest using the Export to PDF capabilities in Power BI Desktop for Report Server.

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF
Good afternoon,
Just to inform that already exist programs capable to do that. At least one was created by a portuguese company (devscope): Power BI Tiles. You can also try PowerBI Robot.
Search about them and try ;)

I feel like most commenting are not utilizing all of the tools in the shed. There are multiple ways to do this currently via report server. so why insist MS waste their time on this feature rather than something more useful?

Export to Excel and PDF is needed for Power BI report server reports.

Scheduled export to PDF with attachment as email would be ideal.

Power BI is used to serve up Interactive reports that can be consumed on Report server, Power BI.com and Power BI Mobile.
With that being said if you are using the ON Prem report server you have the option to Print and with print you have the option to print to PDF as you can with any other file.
Obviously your report would need to be formatted for the size of paper you want to print on.
I originally voted on this when it did not exist on the report server, I will be removing my vote since there is a sensible option now which fulfills this request.
Thanks Power BI Team for the multitude of updates you have done in the last 6 months.

We have got the power BI license assuming that export to PDF option would be available in the licensed version, but it looks its not there. Users using this report are unable to receive their reports in PDF format. Build this feature ASAP.

For anyone who needs to do this, there is a workaround by setting up a Chromium instance using Puppeteer to take screengrabs and pump those to PDF
