Rotate controls in PDF Viewer

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AndyB1000 14

Currently the PDF viewer in PowerApps is missing some basic features, such as the ability to rotate a document once loaded.  This is a fairly basic requirement of any document viewer.  

 

I also see that it is possible to pop out into the browser PDF reader in a new tab, however this is only possible in some cases, please make this available to all documents viewed in the PDF reader.

 

Finally, there is a quite basic workaround in PowerApps which allows the user to view Microsoft Office files (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) files in the PDF viewer, please can this be implemented as standard in the PDF control.
