My experience working with PDF function in Canvas Apps

Power Apps PDF Function: Create, View & Download PDFs

I tried something different from experimenting with Azure.

This was inspired by a post by @Matthew.

Thanks to him for providing this tutorial on how to work with the PDF functionality in Canvas Apps.

This can be useful in field service scenarios, work orders can be downloaded and even sent to email. In this post, I tried out the download feature as explained by Matthew.

I followed the entire exercise A-Z and achieved the same result.

• Introduction: The Work Orders App

• Setup The SharePoint List

• Insert A Vertical Container

• Add A Power Apps Form To The Vertical Container

• Enable The Power Apps PDF Function Experimental Feature

• Generate A PDF Of The Power Apps Form

• View The PDF In Power Apps

• Create A SharePoint Document Library To Store PDF Files

• Build A Flow To Download PDF Files From A SharePoint Document Library

• Download The PDF Directly From Power Apps

Results:
Work Order records in SharePoint Library

Work Order PDF Downloaded from Canvas Apps

I hope this helps and encourage someone to go through same.
