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.

Ability to schedule PDF export at any given time and send it via email or save on a specific location just like SSRS subscription.

"We don't want to have to save the report to export the changes we need."

Agreed!

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

In apps.powerbi.com export to ppt is available. However, it exports the last saved version of the report. If you update filters or drill in to data changing the data displayed, and export (without saving), the filters and such aren't applied in the the export. I think it's important to add that with the export capability in SSRS, we should have the ability for the changes made to filters and the like on screen (without saving) to be applied when exporting the report. We don't want to have to save the report to export the changes we need. We have multiple users using the same report that need to export (with different filter value requirements) and as you can imagine having to save it first would be a disaster.

We want to problematically (C#) execute Power BI reports on Report Server and then export static visualizations to PDF,

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

Printing to PDF from Power BI Report Server web portal prints one PBI report tab at a time, while PBI desktop client has the feature to print all tabs in single PDF.

Is there any way in PBIRS web portal to print all PBI report tabs to a single pdf file at one go?

If this feature is not available. Please add it to Report server.

Also suggest if there is any work around for this. Thanks

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

This is a "must have" for many businesses. When will there be an update? I was hoping for something by the end of 2018.

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

Honestly this isn't a new feature there shouldn't be any compromise it just needs to get done. Fit to page, print selected pages, print preview etc. you gotta get it together MS you aren't new to the game. Your team needs to prioritize and organize the industries demands a little better rather than focusing on pushing your agenda onto people.

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

Limited availability of this functionality (e.g. all report pages must be 4:3 or 16:9) would be acceptable if it speeds the dev/release of this critical feature.
