Power Apps - Generate and Download PDFs on Mobile

Posted on by JF-12111405-0

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?
