@eperezo Print function like a screenshot function which only take the print of only viewing content.
I recoment you this post in this documentation he explain a new PDF function in PowerApps in Detail.
Work with the PDF function .

Althouh you can utilise the Power of Power Autmate to generat a PDF based on your query or condition. here is the general steps:
Trigger (from Power Apps) | V Get items from SharePoint | V Create HTML table | V Convert HTML to PDF (OneDrive) | V Send email with PDF attachment

Also have look on this Create a flow to use in your app to generate PDF .

Hi @eperezo

You could use Power Automate for this case,
but if you want it directly from PowerApps without triggering any flows, you could use PDF() function, but you have to take a note that this function is experimental.

First thing you should do is enabling this function in settings > upcoming features.

To create pdf, the button onselect this function should be in the same screen with the control you are going to print.

For example you're going to print Screen1 as pdf and send it to your email, you can use this formula:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(User().Email,"This is the subject","This is body", {Attachments:Table( {Name:"printed.pdf", ContentBytes:PDF(Screen1,{ExpandContainers: true })})})

If this post answers your question, please mark is as solved and if possible leave a like.

thanks

Awesome, thanks a lot, going to try right now. Good Morning. Question? What Can I do with Powerautomate ?

Note: I just try this and the outcome is just a print screen
