Hi guys!

I've been working on an app that has to be able to show PDF files when offline. I went through the documentation and made sure the FileAttachment table is added to the Mobile Offline Profile with the correct relationship to my base table that has the file column.

The table is also set up to work offline because when opening the app it says it's downloading the necessary tables and data and then says it's available offline. I can tell that part works because it pushes changes made in the app to the Dataverse table whenever the user is back online.

So my only issue is the file not being shown in the app. I also don't think it has anything to do with the PDF viewer control itself because I've tried just putting the document value as a label in my app and it just doesn't show the value. It seems like it just doesn't have that column in the profile for some reason.

If anyone has any idea what I'm missing or what could be the issue, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,

Your Power Apps offline PDF issue is missing 1 Offline Profile configuration:

1. Common Cause - Missing File Column in Offline Profile

The FileAttachment table syncs but file column content doesn't because the specific file column relationship wasn't selected in your Mobile Offline Profile. The app shows Blank() offline even when table rows sync fine.

2. Quick Fix Steps

Please verify the following:

Power Platform Admin Center → Environments → [Your Env] → Settings → Mobile configuration → Your Offline Profile → Edit
Data available offline → [Your Base Table] → Edit table → "Include these files and images" section
Select FileAttachment table → "Column name: [YourFileColumn]" → Save → Publish profile

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
