When I export my report to PDF, it's going to export all of my sheets. Also the ones that I use for validation and error checking. I would like to see an option on every sheet to enable or disable it for the PDF export, so that I can run a PDF export of all the sheets that are important for my stakeholders.
Preferably you should be able to do this by simply right clicking on a sheet and selecting whether you want to enable or disable this sheet for the PDF export.

RE: enable/disable sheet for PDF export

For functionality, we need to be able to export a pdf, and in a dialogue box prior to export, show options such as "export all sheets" and "select sheets to export", without having to go through the extra trouble of hiding and unhiding sheets.

RE: enable/disable sheet for PDF export

But what if I have a LIVE report on PBI Service and I need to export only 1 page from it to pdf? I would need to go over to the report, hide sheets, and again click export. And then again I need to unhide the sheets because people want to use them.
It is necessary to add checkboxes to choose which pages you want to export

You can Hide the pages you don't want to be printed
