  • Power Apps Tutorial video introducing the new PDF function.
    Power Fx PDF function allows us to create PDF documents directly from PowerApps screens, galleries and containers.
    The generated PDF Blob can be leveraged to showcase the PDF in a PDF Viewer control in Power Apps, or send an email with PDF File attachments from Power Apps or save the generated PDF File to a data source like SharePoint Document Library with the help of Power Automate flow.
    PDF function video in Power Apps covers the following:
    ✅ PDF Function introduction
    ✅ PDF function options (Orientation - Landscape or Portrait, Size - Paper Size A1,A2, etc., Margin, DPI and ExpandContainers)
    ✅ PDF function Expand Containers (Shows all gallery items, can be used for Scrollable screen, form control, DataTable, etc.)
    ✅ Generate PDF from Power Apps Gallery or Collection or Data Table
    ✅ Generate PDF from Power Apps Screen
    ✅ Generate PDF from Power Apps Container
    ✅ Generate PDF from Power Apps Form Control
    ✅ Send PDF as email attachment from PowerApps
    ✅ Save PDF generated in Power Apps to SharePoint
    ✅ Generate PDF in PowerApps from SharePoint List Item Attachments (Camera, Pen Input, Upload Picture).
    #PowerApps #PDF #powerfx #sharepoint
    Keeping up to date with the latest on the Power Platform is a challenge & I hope this video series has you covered on the recent updates.
    📝 Make sure to set App Authoring Version to latest available and check for settings to enable PDF Function feature.

    Hi Reza. I just finished developing my first Power App and used many of the functions you describe in many of your videos. I spent almost a month learning Forms, Galleries, relational sharepoint lists, Patch, and finally PDF(). It is an app that will serve my wife's nutritionists clinical practice. I also developed a few basic apps for my construction management company and people really liked them and adopted them quickly as a standard business practice. I want to thank you for your videos as they have truly been an inspiration to learn and put into practice the concepts you explain so clearly. I feel that I am standing on the shoulders of giants.

    I can only imagine how many of us waited for this feature. I designed a Time Off calendar that looks beautiful on screen, but there has never been a way to PDF that calendar and email to a user. I settled on a flow to "recreate" the calendar screen with a ton of "Append to variables" to build up an HTML page. Works okay, but is a bit complicated and takes 1 minute to run. I'm hoping this will help me kill that flow and speed things up.
    In early playing, I see you can't PDF another screen. It has to be the current screen you're on. So, will see if I can navigate screens, PDF, then navigate back.

    Hi Reza, Thank you for your videos, they have been extremely useful on my journey to building some business apps for our company. I am struggling with one thing though. Following your tutorial has allowed to produce a really nice looking PDF but, I have a pie chart on the screen and when that comes out on the PDF, it is just a black box. Can you suggest where I might be going wrong?

    • @RezaDorrani
      @RezaDorrani  Před 7 měsíci

      Pie charts are not supported in pdf. Check documentation for limitations in pdf function.

Will come back to it and try it out as soon as it appears. Thanks for sharing. Really handy feature it promises to be. 😀

    Nice. Do you have insight on how this will work with multi line text boxes? I’m wondering about a text based report scenarios where we may have implemented page screens in the past for printing to PDF. Please report sizes are limited by the page screen real estate so I’m wondering if this PDF functionality can get around that and still provide a structured format.
