Hi Team,

 

I have explained how to read PDF files from the SharePoint library to the Power App PDF component with the help of Power Automate. I have built this APP and Automate Flow in just 10 min.

 

I hope this will be helpful to all of you to expedite your development in daily deliverables.

    Hi Krishna - Great video. This doesn't bypass the current limitations with the pdf viewer in which pdf's that require authentication aren't able to be viewed correct?

    krishnaV...thank you so much for your reply. The problem was due to run the flow before finish the PowerApps application. This generated more than 2 variables leading to error in PowerApps. The solution was:

    1) Creat a flow WITHOUT run it

    2) Conclude the PowerApps application with all formulas mentioned in your video.

    3) Run the application

     

    Thank you again for your response.

    Hi Faribeiro,

     

    Just ensure that your flow is implemented as advised in the video.
