I have a requirement to download powerBI embedded as a PDF file. I tried Kendo UI script to download web pages (to be specific, anything inside a div is converted and downloaded as PDF). I tried accessing divs inside PowerBi Embed reports on a ASPX web page using jQuery. PowerBi Embedded report is rendered inside an iframe. I am always getting content document of Powerbi report iframe as NULL. Possible cause is CORS restrictions. Is there any way to download the Report as PDF?

yes! power BI add this feature with there august 2018 release.
select File > Export to PDF from Power BI Deskop.
Note
The feature does export custom visuals, but it does not export any wallpaper you may have applied to the report.
This is now supported with the new API released in March 2020
There are two available API endpoints
POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/reports/{reportId}/ExportTo
POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/ExportTo
Note: Both require a request body with the following:
| Name | Required | Type | Description |
|--------|----------|----------------|-----------------------|
| format | True | FileFormat | Export to file format |
| Name | Type |
