Pagination in PDF Viewer

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5,179 Super User 2025 Season 2
I am practicing with the Power Apps PDF Viewer control.

I have multiple screens on which are multiple Containers. I have combined the
multiple Containers into a main Container.

My created PDF blob formula is referencing the main Container.

I am getting the data through, and the content of both 'sub-containers' are
showing in the PDF Viewer.

My issue is the pagination (see area in second screenshot circled in red.)

I thought using the multi-into one Container might help solve the problem, but
it didn't.

Is there any way to set these controls so that the contents of Container1_3
breaks evenly across the PDF viewer screen.

    In my experience the Built-in PDF functionality in Power Apps and Power Automate doesn't support pagination. To get Pagination in the created PDF you need to use a third party connector and probably Power Automate.

    Pagination in PDF Viewer

    Hello, as @Pstork1 mentioned, I believe it’s not possible (in my experience) to implement the kind of pagination you want.

    However, one way I found to address this issue is to increase the gallery height beyond the screen size. For example:

    • Set the Height property of Gallery1 to something larger than 2000px (the goal is to leave enough space to prevent items from being cut off).

    • Do the same for Gallery2 and also for the container holding all the data.

    This is a short-term, workaround solution, but it can help display all items without truncation.

    I have two containers.

    Both have the two information sections, shown at the top of the screenshot (Inspection info and Final comments).

    Container1 includes the location info, including an image control. I've been able to manage this Container, as it is fixed; an image control and other content, with known dimensions).

    It displays just fine.

    Container2 is the issue; it will always be multiple pages long.

    There are dozens of questions, where a supporting pic may be required.

    All of that data is being saved in a collection.

    The data needs to be shown in the PDF viewer conversion by section with the issue description and image (if there is an image and description, if not it should be blank).

    After PDF Viewer page 1 (where the two info sections are presented, along with an image of the front of the Location), the other
    Container should be the same height.

    Is there a workaround that will allow for the PDF Viewer to show the first page with data and Location image, and allow for continuation,
    where Container2 content and height can be based on the number of items.?

    The details section is only required to be shown on the first page (Container1). All other pages only need show the details (Contain2).
     
    My 'eye' measurement, based on current configuration, says I can get five inspection items on Containe2.

    Is there no way to write a formula that says after five items initiate a....(? page break, new page, spacing, etc.), that will facilitate a page break?
