Hi @Bhanu2023

The new Power Apps PDF Function can generate a PDF document from any screen or control. It makes the task of creating PDFs very simple and only requires a standard license. Once the PDF is generated we can then view a PDF and download a PDF from directly inside of the app itself. In this article I will show you how to use the Power Apps PDF Function.

I found this interesting guide from: https://www.matthewdevaney.com/power-apps-pdf-function-create-view-download-pdfs/

Hi @Bhanu2023

I had the same error, problem was the missing file property in my case

Download( DownloadPDFFromPowerApps.Run({ file: { name: $"WorkOrder_{Text( Now(), "yyyymmddhhmmss" )}.pdf", contentBytes: varWorkOrderPDF } }).path );

The reason you must type “file” in your parameters is you did not set the Power Automate input field to “required.” If you did set it to required, the word “file” is not necessary.

Hi @Bhanu2023

You need to create a Power Automate flow that needs to get triggered.
DownloadPDFFromPowerApps.Run

The varWorkOrderPDF needs to be set when on the button to view it as PDF:
Set( varWorkOrderPDF, PDF( con_WorkOrder, {ExpandContainers: true} ) );

Hope this help.
I also got the information from the link aboved that I shared with you.
