Hello all

I hope you're all good

I am creating an app that requires people to sign so I used the peninput control.

I have a button that generates the pdf (Thanks to Reza)

Generate PDF button OnSelect property

Set(varPdfGen2, true);
Set(pdfContent2,JSON(PDF(ScreenContainer5,{ExpandContainers:true}),JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));
Notify("PDF Generated", NotificationType.Success,3000);

Set(varPdfGen2, false);
 
I then have an attachment control with this in items property where I can download the pdf
 [{Name:DropdownCanvas2_3.Selected.Title &".pdf",Value:Substitute(pdfContent2,"""","")}]
 
The PDF is created and it works fine but on the pdf the peninput is all black 
 
First pic is from power apps and second when the pdf is created (so from the pdf)
 
I've tried looking online but unsure what's causing this...

Thanks

Vince

Hey! hope you are doing well

Unfortunately this is how PDF function works, but there is a workaround :)

First create a image behind your pen input (here I put it below to make it easier to understand, added button to generate the PDF and the PDF viewer to show the generated PDF)

in the image property of the Image, set it as '<your pen input name>.Image'

You have to turn on and off the visibility of your pen input, for that you can use 'varPdfGen2', but I don't know why you use it, so it will be better to create a new variable, like this:

Set(penControlVisibility, false);

Set(varPdfGen2, true);

Set(pdfContent2,JSON(PDF(ScreenContainer5,{ExpandContainers:true}),JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));

Notify("PDF Generated", NotificationType.Success,3000);
Set(varPdfGen2, false);

Set(penControlVisibility, true);

Update the pen input visible property to: penControlVisibility

Remember to put your image behind the pen input

make sure the position of both components are equal

you can also set the image positions properties refer the pen input as below

And that's it:

Hope it helps :)
