Posted on by swinnings

I have created a PowerApp and added an export to PDF button. I have created the PowerAutomate flow. I am now at the point of making a HTML code for the export. Is it possible to just put the form in without having to put in every single title, text, etc.?

What I want is something like this.

"<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2> PDF Report </h2>
<h2>Title</h2>
<div>"& Title1.Text &"</div>
<div>"& Form1.LastSubmit &"</div>

</body>
</html>
"

Is this even possible?

Thanks,

Shannon

To my knowledge, no, because Form1.LastSubmit requires the rest of the polymorphic reference (e.g. Form1.LastSubmit.ColumnName); Form1.LastSubmit just references the record in its entirety.

Is there the ability to just do Form1 (without the Last Submit)? I'm hoping to avoid having to do the entire HTML code, though I will probably not be that lucky!

I shamelessly use HTML generators online for my tables (rather than sit there and count my brackets to make sure I closed my <divs>)!

I don't know how long your form is, or the number of fields or anything... But have you considered simply using Print()? You can insert a vertical print screen to accommodate additional length. Downside is I don't believe it works on mobile yet.

I'm also using a HTML generator now for convenience!

The form is, unfortunately, long (I didn't make it), but I will look into what I can do with the Print() function.

Thanks!
