Posted on by BerkerCelenk

Dear All,

I am trying to create a digital PowerApps checklist for my colleagues as you see in the attachment I shared with you. I have 20 screens, each with a different checklist about different topics. I want my colleagues to fill in the checklist and click the "send button" at the end of the page. The application sends the output of the checklist to me by email with a PDF attachment that shows all screens in one PDF. I don't know how to make it. I have searched a lot on YouTube but haven't found any answers yet. I would appreciate it if there is someone who can explain to me how to do it.

Hello @BerkerCelenk,

One approach would be to create a Word template, and then to trigger a Power Automate flow that fills out the Word template, converts it to PDF and sends it to the user:
https://powerautomate.microsoft.com/de-de/blog/generate-word-documents-in-your-flows/
Alternatively, you could also create an HTML file, for example, and convert this into PDF.

Hi @BerkerCelenk ,

We can achieve this using Power Automate (Flow) and potentially third-party services. Here's a general approach you could consider:
Build the screens in your Power App that you want to capture as PDF. Ensure that the data you want to include in the PDF is properly displayed and formatted on these screens.
Create a Power Automate (Flow) to generate the PDF and send it as an email attachment. Here's a high-level overview of the steps you might need to take:
a. Trigger: Set up a trigger for the Flow. This could be initiated by a button click in your Power App or through another event.
b. Get Data: Use appropriate actions to retrieve the data you want to include in the PDF. You might use connectors like SharePoint, Dataverse, or other data sources depending on where your data resides.
c. Create HTML or Generate PDF: You might need to generate HTML content that represents the information you want in the PDF. There are actions available in Power Automate to convert HTML to PDF using tools like the 'Convert HTML to PDF' action provided by third-party services.
d. Send Email: Use the "Send an email" action to send an email. Attach the generated PDF to the email using dynamic content from the Flow.
Integrate the Power Automate Flow with your Power App. You might use the "Power Automate" connector to call the Flow from within your app. Pass any necessary data from the app to the Flow.

找作业代写 https://www.yydaixie.com 机构时，首先大家不妨看看他们家的实力如何。所谓的实力主要体现在公司的规模、是否有固定的办公场所、写手经验是否丰富等等，大家可以从这方面入手做个判断和比较。
