Testing export to PDF/PowerPoint

Hi all,

 

Do you know if there's a way to test the export to PDF/PowerPoint feature without already being certified?

What I want to do is add a watermark to my visual if there is no have a valid license key when doing the export. I noticed the

powerbi.common.CustomVisualHostEnv.ExportReportHost enum, so I assume this should work, but as far as I know, there's no way to actually test that it works until after a the visual has been certified? 
 
-Thanks!

You can export from PBIX to PDF on Power BI Desktop? No service required.

Hi,

 

Yes, but it does not seem like the host environment is set to "ExportReportHost" in Power BI Desktop during export, so I'm not able to test if it works in web / service.

The best thing would be if there was some kind of API to get notified when the user performs an export so I could apply a watermark, but as far as I know, there's no such API or event being raised by Power BI?
