good morning to all,

i have created a timesheet for our users to fill out (see below), when the user clicks on the envelope to email the form comes out way to small, how can i get it to be emailed so i can print it 8 1/2" x 11". i have entered the code into the button but have had no luck. any suggestions? thanks in advanced.

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(User().Email,"TimeSheet","TimeSheet Form PDF from Power Apps",
{Attachments:Table({Name:"TimeSheetForm.pdf",ContentBytes:PDF(timesheet), Size:PaperSize.Letter, Orientation:PaperOrientation.Landscape})})

Hi there,

You're very close! The issue lies in how you're passing the Size and Orientation properties — they're not part of the Attachments table but instead should be part of the PDF() function call.

According to the official Microsoft documentation, the PDF() function accepts a second argument with optional configuration settings, such as page size, orientation, margins, etc.

So instead of this:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2( User().Email, "TimeSheet", "TimeSheet Form PDF from Power Apps", { Attachments: Table({ Name: "TimeSheetForm.pdf", ContentBytes: PDF(timesheet), Size: PaperSize.Letter, Orientation: PaperOrientation.Landscape }) } )

You should structure it like this:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2( User().Email, "TimeSheet", "TimeSheet Form PDF from Power Apps", { Attachments: Table({ Name: "TimeSheetForm.pdf", ContentBytes: PDF(timesheet, { Size: "Letter", Orientation: "Landscape" }) }) } )

This version correctly places Size and Orientation inside the second argument of the PDF() function, which will generate a properly formatted 8.5" x 11" landscape PDF.

Let me know if you also want to adjust margins or expand containers — you can add those as well inside the same record.

Hope this helps!
