How can I export an embedded Power BI report as an image?
I have embedded a Power BI report into my application within an iFrame, and now want to create a static image of that report.
It appears that there is no inbuilt functionality to export a report as an image in the Power BI Embedded APIs. There appear to be some questions on the forum, and also some ideas asking for this feature or similar.
I tried to use html2canvas, but it has a limitation preventing access to content from another origin.
The fact that the source is a different origin means that this question suggests that what I want to do is impossible, but I have seen other applications that appear to be able to take such a screenshot.
Are there any other ways that I could get a static image for an embedded Power BI report?
