The Export to pdf functionality allows us to export or print the report pages. But it would be nice if we could also print/export the bookmarks (all of them or just a folder/group)

RE: Allow bookmarks and bookmark folders to be exported to pdf

This is an excellent idea, can't believe it is not available yet.

RE: Allow bookmarks and bookmark folders to be exported to pdf

Agree to all comments! This would add much more flexibility in exporting without the need of creating so many individual views. Please implement...

In the event that anyone else is running in to this same issue, my workaround was to publish the dashboard and use the 'Export to PowerPoint' function for each bookmark, then combine in PowerPoint.

Oh man, I thought this was already available and just created a whole deck of 40+ bookmarks thinking I would be able to export as a presentation!

RE: Allow bookmarks and bookmark folders to be exported to pdf

Definitely a needed feature. Allows us to create a "deck" by choosing a different slicer value for each bookmark page and then exporting the series of bookmarks

Currently need to create multiple pages - this functionality would enable the export of many different 'views' without the need to reproduce multiple tabs which then need to be edited manually whenever there's a minor tweak. Also - 4 similar ideas need consolidating - so adding same comment to each.

RE: Allow bookmarks and bookmark folders to be exported to pdf

Yes! Please we do need this feature! Even we created Dashboards for our executives. They still want a stack a ppt slides in hands!

RE: Allow bookmarks and bookmark folders to be exported to pdf

This is the same idea listed here,

https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/35142712-power-bi-pdf-export-per-bookmark

I've supported both and made comment that consolidation needed by MSFT
