Power Apps Print() – PDF output is always cut / not capturing full screen

Posted on by BN-12021351-0

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to enable users to print or save a screen as PDF from a Power Apps app, but I'm struggling to get it working correctly.

I’m currently using the Print() function, but no matter what configuration I try, the exported/printed PDF always captures only part of the screen. The result is a cut or incomplete page, even though the content fits within the page layout.

Things I already tried:

Adjusting the screen size to A4

Changing containers and layout

Testing with a very simple screen (even with just a few icons)

Using different browser print settings

However, the PDF output is still truncated and does not capture the full screen.

I’ve attached some examples showing the result.

Has anyone successfully implemented Print → Save as PDF from a Power Apps screen without the content being cut?

Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

i dont have much experience using the PDF function, but give this a shot and see if it works for your solution.

Set(varPDF, PDF(ScreenName, {ExpandContainers: true, Size: "A4"}))

Hello,

If the screen is not too long than 2000 character try using html control provided by Power Apps.

Solution: Using a Timer to Ensure the Screen Fully Renders Before Printing

If the Print() function is capturing only part of the screen, it may be because the screen hasn't fully rendered before the print command runs. One workaround is to trigger the print using a Timer control.

Steps:

screen height:1123

width: 794

On the Print icon/button, set a variable to start the print process:

Set(varPrint, true)

Add a Timer control to the screen and configure it as follows:

AutoStart: varPrint

Duration: 1000 (or slightly higher if needed)

Repeat: false

Visible: false (optional)

In the OnTimerEnd property of the Timer, add the following formula:

Print(); Set(varPrint, false)

Explanation:

When the user clicks the print icon, varPrint becomes true.

The timer starts automatically.

After the timer finishes, it triggers the Print() function.

Finally, the variable is reset to false to stop the timer.

This small delay allows the screen to fully render before printing, which can help prevent the PDF or printed page from being cut off.

Hope this helps!

I had a similar issue, with incomplete rendering of my print screen.

I could solve the problem, by changing the setting of the power app from "responsive" to "fixed".

Not a nice clean solution, but maybe it helps or brings you closer to a solution.
