Power Apps - Generate and Download PDFs on Mobile

Posted on 12 Nov 2024 14:08:59 by 5

Hello,

I'm currently developing an app for a client who intends to use it on a tablet. The app automates contracts, and on the final screen, the completed contract is displayed for review.

 

Issue: Saving or Printing the Final Screen as a PDF

The goal is to either save this final screen as a PDF or print it directly from the tablet. Ideally, I’d like a solution that functions similarly to the Print() method, but unfortunately, Print() isn’t supported on mobile devices. Additionally, the pdf() function hasn’t proven fully reliable in this environment.

 

Requirement: Solution Without Third-Party Software

The solution needs to work without third-party software, as this is often unreliable or unsupported on mobile devices.

 

Question: Practical Solutions for Mobile Devices

Is there a good solution that works across mobile platforms, or will the client need to invest in a Windows tablet specifically for this functionality?

    Power Apps - Generate and Download PDFs on Mobile
    Here are the takeaways:
     
    For Cross-Platform Usage: Use Power Automate to generate and save a PDF. It’s reliable, works across devices, and provides high-quality output.
    For Windows-Specific Scenarios: Use the Print() function with a Windows tablet for seamless integration. 
    Lightweight Option: Use embedded HTML with browser-based printing.
