It would be nice if there is an option to have a scheduled export of a report to PDF. A nice to have feature would be to directly e-mail it to people so they are being notified of the latest report.

Another update on this item - users now have the ability to set up scheduled subscriptions with paginated reports and 6 different formats, along with parameters per subscription to allow further personalization. There is also now the ability to create paginated reports against any Power BI dataset in the service, and we're planning to add drillthrough from Power BI to Paginated Reports in the short term. We still have plans to support e-mail attachments for Power BI reports as well in the coming months, and we'll share more specifics once we get closer to starting that work.

we need excel or csv
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
We're using Power BI as a lightweight ETL tool to perform transformations on data from various sources, but need to be able to automatically export the transformed output. Power Automate would be a perfect end-to-end solution if we could just export the data from Power BI automatically.
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
is this for external users as well?

Bring it to pro as well.
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Currently a report subscription that sends an email with a paginated PDF of the report attached is only available in PowerBI Premium, correct? Are there plans to bring that ability to PowerBI Pro?
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
the idea was started in 2016 and till date it hasn't been added.
I doubt Microsoft will do it ?

Whether this is delivered through a MS Flow (MS Automate) functionality or delivered directly in PowerBI Web, this is a must have. Being able to have reports being generated for a PDF opens up opportunities for automation with teams, projects and clients. Licensing seems to be a risk to consider.
I feel this request/idea also crosses over into the debate about the need for a "report viewing" license (read only) to view reports. See - https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/6769950-create-an-read-only-and-external-license-tier
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Fully agree with thi sone "An MSFlow connector to the data would also be great. Currently you can query alarms, which is an interesting thing, but I don't know of any application that uses the alarm function seriously."
