In this video, you will learn how to create a PDF using the power of PowerApps, Flow, and OneDrive. We walk through everything from generating the HTML, to filling in the variables, adding Flow actions, and finally sending content from PowerApps to the PDF. Very cool.

How do you send the resulting PDF to a printer?
awesome, it works, any chance i could get certain parts of the html to pdf to print out instead of the entire portion based on drop down selections inside the app? or is that too much?
Thank you so much for this video, is there a way to save the PDF landscape ?
HI Shane, your video is very informative, could you please do a video on how to use this on Model Driven App, Thanks
Do you know why I might have an error "Invalid number of arguments: received 1, expected 0. This is the final step and I even created a new button and text input just like you and still the error.
Great, can you show us how to continue and another image as a footer. I tried it my self and got the html syntax from w3school but it did work as expected. Thanks
thanks mate !
Hi Shane Great content by the way
Currently I out issuing a purchase order from the power apps and did all the steps in this video but still the logo did not appear in the pdf file but appeared in the html file
also the PO line details appeared in the html but did not appear in the PDF
Could you please help?
great video! thanks so much for explaining every step! Great job!
Shane, thanks for this video. It is incredibly helpful. One thing that eludes me is how to delete the html file after everything is converted. I tried doing a OneDrive delete file path to the first file, but the file will not delete. Any thoughts?
Hi Shane.. question for you. I have a Standard PDF form that my clients use to initiate requests. Currently they're digitally signing the form and sending a copy via email. Does powerapps allow users to digitally sign a PDF document? Thanks in advance!
Hey Shane, your videos are a real life-saver, thank you! I built a Flow just like in your video, but the PDF part of the OneDrive connector is still in Preview state (and probably will be forever) and my IT department wont let me put this into production. I looked into 3rd Party connectors, but we cannot use them because they're mostly American companies who dont comply with GDPR (PDF will contain sensitive company data). I'm now building an Azure Function which does just the same, what a hassle!
HI Mr Young, thank you so much for your teaching to us. Is that you mean that a traditional HTML file with embedded jpg, png, docx. to PDF? and even using <iframe> tag to display outlook email content in HTML?
Hey Shane, Great video's I'm a big fan. Quick question how would I get multiple text inputs into the PDF. Example you've done it for chewys cup amounts for Tuesday but how about Wednesday Thursday and Friday.
Hi Shane, I know this is an old video but I hope you can help. I have used your method to create a PDF successfully from a form and related gallery (Purchase Order and Items). What I would like to do is attach the pdf back to the same PO, which I have done, except I cannot find a way to refresh, so it appears in the attachments area. Hope this makes sense, any ideas would be appreciated – thanks Mike
Thank you for the video. Everything works like a charm when I am logged in as the user that created the flow. The base files (logo, HTML, pdf) are all saved in the Share with Everyone OneDrive for Business folder. When I run the app/flow using a different account the flow fails on the getting the image file for the logo – says the resource cannot be found. That would be a permission thing right? But the file is in the Shared with Everyone folder and appears to open to all. Heck, I think they can even edit it. So, what am I missing?
very good, I'll try
Hey Shane!
Tell me how to make the landscape orientation of the created PDF
Hi Shane, I just tried to follow this example for the same purpose but I had some trouble with the png because I'm trying to make this but instead of png stored in my OneDrive I would like to this with barcodes html code.
Do you have any idea of how to achieve this? The pdf and the rest of the content in the file is working ok
do have any recommendation if we are going to deal with multiple images in one pdf file, how should we approach that?
If I do this with Sharepoint instead if OneDrive, there is no option for 'Convert file'. Is there another solution for this?
Awesome, that is exactly what I need for one of my projects! Thanks Shane!
This channel is so helpful!! Thank you.
Hi shane, the pdf i generated which i sent to onedrive folder says that looks like this file preview cannot be shown
