Hello,
Experiencing strange behavior with the PDF Function. When I run the canvas app in the edit designer, the pdf generates the full pdf, however - when i run the canvas app normally (not in the edit designer) it only generates the 1st page of the pdf. Anyone else experiencing this?
here's my pdf function:
Set(varPDFContent, PDF(
scrnFinalEval,
{
Orientation: "Landscape",
ExpandContainers: true
}
))
I then have the pdf displayed in the PDF viewer control, and am also saving it to a Sharepoint library. In both cases, the issue described above is occurring.
I was testing, and the operation of the PDF function also depends on the browser used. In Chrome and Edge it sometimes crashes, but in Mozilla it works.
It didn't work for me.
I have a gallery of variable size inside a vertical container, and depending on the number of lines in the gallery, it works really well, but when it exceeds a limit of 10 lines, it crashes.
Detail: I'm using a landscape orientation in the app.
I Had the same issue. I Solved this by:
I had ScreenName => Canvas => several galleries inside Canvas DataCard
This failed: PDF( ScreenName, {ExpandContainer:true}.....
This worked: Added verticalContainer to the ScreenName
Coppied Canvas and pasted to verticalContainer
then PDF(verticalContainer, {ExpandContainer:true}
and worked.
I had the same problem and solved it by disabling the "scale to fit" property in the screen settings. So far, I haven't been able to get it to work with this setting enabled.
I have the exact same issue, to load the full pdf it has to be in containers...with expandcontainers true...! However it only works on edit mode...on devices or player it crashes. Any idea of that being fixed?
Hello,
I am still experiencing this issue.
The PDF function generates all pages of my PDF in the editor environment but, when I run the canvas environment, the pdf only contains the top part of the screen that is visible without scrolling.
Is there a new ETA for when this issue will be resolved?
Thanks, now working properly.
I also tested with simple container inside verticalcontainer - also working.
I guess now all items need be inside verticalcontainer.
that is an old known behavior. I use Foxit reader or google chrome to open as well. that issue is not related with the new one of not printing all boxes within the same page. currently it only prints if visible within the form resolution (no scrollable area)
Try opening the pdf in Chrome (open with). There is a weird issue when opening with Acrobat Reader, only the first page loads with data.
