Power Apps PDF Viewer Controls Hidden

Posted on by Kyle_Y

Power Apps Authoring Version 3.24122.12 makes the PDF controls (see image below) of a PDF Viewer control disappear, even when the Show Controls property is set to true. This occurs inside Power Apps Studio and also on all devices using the app published by that authoring version.

When a screen is opened in the app, the controls appear for a split-second and then disappear. Users then cannot interact with any of those controls, e.g. search, page navigation, etc.

The issue was temporarily addressed by rolling back to Authoring Version 3.24121.10

@scalca Yes, 3.24122.12 was the recommended version for me at the time, and is still currently the recommended version.

Happens for me too. Had to put a timer in for 3 seconds that set variable to true for show controls. When first opening PDF Viewer, variable is set to false and timer starts. Let me know if you find solution as this work around took to long.

Did you fix it? I had the same issue.

I fix it by adding in the "OnStateChange" of the PDF Viewer ;

UpdateContext({lvar_ShowPDFViewerControls: false});

UpdateContext({lvar_ShowPDFViewerControls: true});

then for the "ShowControls" field, instead of true, put that variable

Best,
