This was so helpful! I am almost there but I'm a newbie and I am missing how to set up the varRecord variable for the formula. Can you help or point me to where you might have that? Thank you so much for this tutorial!

@WonderLaura Месяц назад

I did another example of varRecord in this week’s video about the Power Apps toolbar control.

@ericbeaudin3741 Год назад

Hello Laura , have a question ,could you explain how varRecord was built ? I'm trying to understand ...I'm beginner ... :) Want to save with item name in PDF...

@nindyasofiana Месяц назад

Hi Laura thank you for the helpful video, can the pdf contain chart ?

@WonderLaura Месяц назад

I would just try putting a chart control on your screen and see if it comes out in the PDF.

@nindyasofiana Месяц назад

@@WonderLaura i tried this, but it turns out to blank/black :(

@janetfernandes7383 4 месяца назад

In the form view, you have a multiline field, how will this option work if the multiline fields also becomes scrollable?

@WonderLaura 4 месяца назад

Not sure, I haven’t tried that. Let me know if you test it.

@saikiranpulolla8601 7 месяцев назад

After publishing app and play, pdf is generating for first visible screen of the scrollable screen.. though it works fine while edit > Preview.

@WonderLaura 7 месяцев назад

It’s kind of a buggy function, and doesn’t work on mobile.

I have a problem. I am trying to send a graph in a PDF and it does not work, that is, it is sent but the part where the graphs go arrives completely black, but the rest is displayed correctly...

@WonderLaura 3 месяца назад

That doesn’t surprise me. This is still a preview feature and is buggy.

@lalitsen249 11 месяцев назад

This is what I was looking, Thank You very much!

@WonderLaura 11 месяцев назад

You're welcome!

@CHAMONIX552 Месяц назад

Thanks for the video. Is it possible to pull data from selected columns of the record ( (SharePoint list item)) to print to the PDF file?

@WonderLaura Месяц назад

As long as they’re on the page you’re printing, yes.

@CHAMONIX552 Месяц назад

@@WonderLaura Is this PDF function available for production use or still experimental?

@WonderLaura Месяц назад

@@CHAMONIX552 I just looked on their website, looks like still experimental learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/how-to/pdf-function

@dilipkampa6526 10 месяцев назад

Hi @Laura, great video. I have tested this and i see expand containers is not working. The error shows "PDF Creation Failed" in both SendPDFToEmail as well as save PDF too Document library. Any idea why this is happening?

@WonderLaura 9 месяцев назад

Maybe it’s the file itself? Try a different, very plain and basic file, as a test.

@ronaldo-sheilabumanlag3811 7 месяцев назад

Hello Thanks for the video. Question... I inserted powerbi tile and wanted to create a pdf thru PowerApps and then email but it's showing a blank screen, any functions that I'm missing?

@WonderLaura 5 месяцев назад

Sorry I’m not sure. It is still an experimental function and has odd behavior.

@agojiedoramilaje27 Год назад

The expand container doesn't work when published even though it works fine in preview . Any suggestions pls?

@WonderLaura Год назад

I don’t know.

@valdirpereirasjc Год назад

I had this problem before with a Flex Gallery. When I used a simple vertical gallery that was not a problem. Try do that

@nipun399 Год назад

Hi Laura, I am experiencing content break during page break issues for multi page pdf. Could you tell me any technique to avoid?

@WonderLaura Год назад

I don’t know, sorry.

@asankalk Год назад

Hi Laura, Is it possible to map the user inputs into a fillable PDF? EG: I have a PDF Template in my computer. This is a fillable PDF Form. I want to use this PDF in my App, so it maps the user inputs to the PDF fields and email to someone else. Hope this make sense? Thanks

@WonderLaura Год назад

You’d have to purchase the enterprise version of Adobe in order to do that as an integration with Microsoft 365.

@shawnsiegrist3632 Год назад

Is there a way to dynamically save the PDF you create to the attachments column of your SharePoint List?

@WonderLaura Год назад

You could do that via a flow, yes.

@dr.mohammedmohammed7633 Год назад

Dear I used to have an old version of my apps it was working perfectly so I didn't touch the formula or anything ,,, it expand the gallery perfectly without any errors put so on so far ,,, I think when I update the apps for different modifications not related to this pdf function, the capability is gone ,,,, the last publishing was one year from now ,,, when I update this august the capability gone .... something related to platform update happens by MS them self

@bubapedongpetracubliphant7526 Год назад

same with mine. let me know if you find any solutions

@WonderLaura Год назад

I just created a brand new app today, 8-14-2023, and the PDF function is still in there. It doesn't look like it's been removed. Be sure to go to the settings and enable the feature called "pdf function".

@dr.mohammedmohammed7633 Год назад

@@WonderLaura the things is not work is (Expandcontainers) ... the PDF function work but without expanding as what it was
