Hy guys

I have the following problem. When saving the screen as a PDF, the layout is no longer correct.

This means that in the Power App everything is on one page/screen and in the PDF it breaks it into two pages.

Can anyone tell me how I can prevent this?
I have already tried to change the settings on the printer such as “Actual size” but unfortunately that doesn't help either.

Have you tried ExpandContainers optional property with PDF function.

E.g. - PDF(Screen1, {ExpandContainers: true}) => A PDF is created where any containers/galleries with more content than is visible are expanded to show all content in the generated PDF.

Set a fixed screen size

Go to App Settings > Display and set a Custom size like:

Width: 816

Height: 1056 (for A4 portrait)

Turn off Scale to Fit

Put everything inside a container

Add a Container and place all elements inside it. This keeps everything together when exporting.

Use Power Automate for PDF

Create a new Power Automate flow

Add PowerApps trigger

Add Convert HTML to PDF action

Pass the screen as HTML content

Generate HTML from PowerApps

Use this in PowerApps OnSelect button:

Set(varHTML, "html start tag" & YourContentHere & "html end tag");

PowerAutomateFlow.Run(varHTML);

Fix page breaks in HTML (for Power Automate PDF)

In Power Automate, use HTML for proper layout:

Print directly from PowerApps

If you are using Print(), set the container Height = App.Height and Width = App.Width.

Try different print settings

When saving as PDF, set Margins = None and Scale = 100% in the print dialog.

@SwatiSTW Thank you very much.
Is there another possibility without changing the layout or display settings? As I have already programmed the complete app, I would have to adapt everything to the new A4 layout.
