In this video, you will learn about creating PDFs with PowerApps and Flow. This is taking the concept we covered in an earlier video and going two steps deeper by pulling in dynamic data and building an HTML table on the fly with the Concat function. Exciting stuff.

Thanks a lot for the video. How can I show this generated pdf in power app pdf control?
Hello Shane, How do you start file let's say with a header once, and then with the following add the rest of the data fields. I want this final output to be in html format. I know there is append file etc.
Hi Shane, I wanted to ask if it is also possible to create several pages/sheets based on a Sharepoint list and create a PDF from them. And to automatically create new sheets/pages when a table overflows.
In flow, my html went fine, but when converted to pdf, it just showed up the first row of my table, at the same time that in html showed all of then
Shane, I’m not seeing a create html file in OneDrive. Is there an alternative?
Hi Shane, for some reason my pdf file wont generate whereas the html file will load up with no problem. I store them in OneDrive. Sometimes the pdf file got generated but since then it doesnt work. I dont know it it‘s because of the Html Style?

Hi,
Excellent job on all of your videos.
This works fine. I do have one issue though, for some reason the last record in my dataset is not passed on… It is appears on powerapps, through any testing I conceive, but it is never sent to html. I tried doubling ma dataset size, it will be sent only as part of the dataset, but as last record it will not appear (so if my double my dataset it appears only once). I cannot find any info on that, I'm at a loss. Worse part is my app is ready, everything else works just fine…
Hi Shane, GReat work youre delivering here (as usual … or should I say always) with a very good explanation and making it easy to implement this in my own PowerApps. Creating the PDF works great, addes some peninput also (covered in one of your other video's).
I do have one issue: I need the PDF in landscape but can't find how to configure this, if this is even possible. Could you look into this? That would be great.
Best regards,
Bert
Hi Shane, thanks a lot for all your videos. I have a question ? How to add image while using the "New PDF" button ? I tried by following the other video and I was successfully and not successful while using this "New PDF" button approach. Can you please help
Thanks for sharing Shane, the html file is normal, but why the pdf file that I create, it's so small, so it just shows few columns , do you have any advises to fix that? thanks so much
Great! Thank you very much.
Amazing Video… thank you
Great Shane! I am working on a project where one of the columns contains pictures. How do I get it through the Flow and generate file (Word or PDF). Your current flow can be used but where and how do I convert the image to base64. Do help.
Hi Shane,
I've used your HTML to get the dynamic data into a table, all worked fine. But when I tried to use <img src="& JSON(inputsignature.Image, JSONFormat.IgnoreBinaryData) &"> to include a signature at the end, as soon as I put that in ends in an error message and the table doesn't show, any ideas what I'm doing wrong? 🙂
As usual amazing Shane!
Hi Shane, you can use the html editor to create some pretty nice emails
Hi shane young- i added print icon in 4 screens, how can combine 4 ( save as PDF files in to 1 )?
Wow…. this is an incredibly simple way to do this… I was seriously doing this the hard way!!! You are a life saver!! If I ever get the chance I will not just buy you a drink… it would be like a case!! Dang!!! Thank you!!
Thanks for this and all your other videos. I've learned more than I would have ever been able to figure out on my own. In my version of this, my form is displayed in edit mode and it filters its gallery items based on a Master ID field. So when I generate the html/pdf, I want it to show the items displayed, which are a subset of all items. Everything works fine except the gallery items aren't pulled into the pdf. I've double checked the html for the gallery and can't find any errors. What am I missing?
Thank you! I especially like that you also are honest and show your mistakes!
Thank you so much you are a life saver ❤
Hey Shane, I am trying to do this project but want to be able to use multiple filtering fields on the same gallery collection. I am getting errors with the Choices function which is causing problems on the next screen when I am trying to filter accurately. Have you had any issues similar to this?
Hi Shane, thank you a lot for your excellent videos, there must be a reason for you to have over 100.000 subscribers (a real pop star!!!). Most of what I know is thanks to you!
I have a suggestion to complement the very nice serie about PDF generation: I learned for you how to generate PDF from HTML, but it should be possible using MS Word to create the PDF. I have been doing it from Dynamics 365 since a few years. I read it should be possible from Power Apps as well and I really appreciate if you could make a video on it because using Word is much simpler (at least from Dynamics).
Thank you a lot again !!!

Shane, I have trouble converting the html file(dynamically pulling data from gallery) to pdf file. Only top row of gallery shows in pdf file. Please help asap.
Hi Shane, your awesome. Can I dynamically name my pdf file in that scenario?
I have a very long HTML table, using this method, the PDF files that I got is only half of the HTML. in other word, only half of the tables is converted to PDF. Any tips?
thanks a lot! is there a way to change the size of the pdf that is generated in the end?
Shane, your videos are extremely helpful. I am having an issue with the PDF created not recognizing page breaks. I’ve tried EVERYTHING I’ve found online but still no luck. I can’t even get it to work using a simple table or div code. Any suggestions.
Hola Shane tus videos siempre me ayudan muchisimoo pero esta vez no pude encontrar la opcion en Automate de HTML File tendrás alguna otra opcion que la reemplace
Hi Shane. How do you format number with decimal points in concat function under HTMLTEXT? Appreciate for your advice. Thank you.
Hi Shane, I have a combo box on my app, and it has to be one for multiple choices, and I can't seem to get it to work. Even when I used SelectedText.Value any idea what the problem is?
