In Power Pages, I have a Power BI embedded report with an Azure map in it. Is there a way to print/export that other than using the browser print function? I understand exporting tables to Excel or csv, but I haven't had the need to export a map before. And I'm still pretty new to Power Pages. It would be printing or exporting something like this from the Power Pages / Power BI embedded report.

Here's what I found regarding printing or exporting a Power BI embedded report with an Azure Map visual in Power Pages:

🧭 Current Limitations

Azure Maps visuals in Power BI do not export well using standard export options (PDF, PowerPoint, etc.) due to rendering limitations.

Power BI Embedded in Power Pages does not support native export or print functionality beyond what the browser offers.

The browser print function is currently the most reliable way to capture the visual, including maps.

🛠️ Workarounds and Options

1. Use Power BI Export API (Advanced)

If your report is a paginated report or you can replicate the map in a paginated format:

Use the Power BI exportToFile API to export to PDF, PPTX, or image formats.

This requires:

The report to be hosted in a Premium or Embedded capacity.

A custom button in Power Pages to trigger the export via a backend service.

2. Embed a Screenshot or Static Image

If the map doesn't need to be interactive:

Use Power BI to take a snapshot of the map.

Embed that image in Power Pages for easier printing/exporting.

3. Use Power Automate (Limited)

Power Automate can export paginated reports, but not standard reports with Azure Maps. It’s not ideal for this use case unless you redesign the report.

🧪 Experimental Option

If you're open to a custom solution:

I can help you build a JavaScript-based print/export button in Power Pages that captures the embedded iframe content.

This would essentially mimic the browser print but could be styled and scoped more cleanly.
