I have a powerbi report embedded to my webpage. What I need is to add an "export" button to my page and export the report to the PDF when the button is clicked. How can I achieve this? People online advises using report.print()
or window.print()
, but both did not work for me.
var reportContainer = document.getElementById('reportContainer');
var report = powerbi.embed(reportContainer, config);
var report2 = powerbi.get(reportContainer);
console.log(report); --returns the report
console.log(report2); --also returns the report
report.print(); --nothing happens
report2.print(); --nothing happens
var saveAsParameters = {
name: "newReport"
};
report2.saveAs(saveAsParameters); --nothing happens report.saveas also nothing happens
window.print(); --it prints a blank page.
I found this but did not help: Print/Generate PDF of embedded power bi report
Please note that I know I can export the report to pdf via PowerBI Desktop but I need to do it on my custom web page.
Any help would be so appreciated.
