Charts not being displayed when I PDF a page in Power Apps

I am attempting to try the new PDF experimental process in PowerApps. Here is the formula that I am using.

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(User().Email,"Deployment Report for "&Today(),"Please see attached Deployment Report.",{Attachments:Table({Name:"Deployment Report for " &Today()&".pdf",ContentBytes:PDF(ScreenContainer6_23,{Orientation:PaperOrientation.Landscape,Size:PaperSize.Letter})})})

The ScreenContainer6_23 contains all of the charts and data and is all contained on one page. The print function that I have tried is not useful because it is essentially a screenshot and creates enough of its own issues.

Here is the issue. When I PDF the page, two things happen: the charts show up as black boxes and the PDF is 86 pages instead of one.

Not sure what I am missing.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You are not missing anything unfortunately - the PDF function is still experimental and it appears charts do not resolve- I answered another similar post a little while back and my testing here confirms it.

Well that is truly a shame. I sure hope they resolve this issue. It sure would be a great feature in the future. Thanks @WarrenBelz for your feedback. Guess I will have to figure out another way to print the page I am working on.

@Gahusi , unfortunately I did not. I finally gave up on trying to PDF anything until PowerApps resolves the issues. Sorry.
