PDF Attachment Issue: Power Apps to Exchange/Outlook (Blank/Corrupted)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by tg42q15f 28

 

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me with a persistent and quite frustrating issue I'm facing in Power Apps.

I'm using the PDF() function within a Power App to generate a PDF, and then sending it as an attachment via the Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2 connector.

Here's the problem:


  • When the email is sent to a Gmail address, the PDF attachment opens and renders perfectly, with all the data visible.

  • However, when the exact same email is sent to an Exchange or Outlook recipient, the PDF attachment arrives either completely blank or corrupted.


    •  

This is really stumping me, as it works flawlessly for Gmail, suggesting the PDF generation itself might not be the core issue. Has anyone encountered this specific behavior before, or do you have any insights into why Exchange/Outlook might be handling these PDF attachments differently?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Could you please share your PDF/send email code? Could you try something like the code below and see if it makes any difference:
     
    Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(
    "recipient@example.com",
    "Subject",
    "Body text",
    {
        Attachments: Table({
            Name: "Report.pdf",
            ContentBytes: PDF(
                galleryOrControlName,
                {
                    Orientation: PaperOrientation.Portrait,
                    Size: PaperSize.A4,
                    DPI: 150,
                    ExpandContainers: true
                }
            )
        })
    }
)
