Bug report - PDF() Formula Issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee
Hi Power Apps product team,
 
I have been using PDF() function for personal productivity for over year and it had been working fine. Today I found that the function cannot generate PDF files for contents that exceed their allocated size any more. Just to clarify, there's nothing wrong with my formula and I have not made any update with the app, the formula just broke suddenly. If you need the formula for reference, here it is:
UpdateContext(
{
pdfFile: {
Name: $"{pdfName}.pdf",
Value: Substitute(
JSON(
PDF(
LetterBody,
{ExpandContainers: true}
),
JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData
),
"""",
""
)
}
}
)
 
Now the formula can only generate PDF files with visible content. I wonder if you look into this. Thank you.
