[Breanne Meisenheimer]

Hi im pretty new in powerapps. Im making a pdf viewer app where the user can select a list of items specifications. Is it possible to add a button where it will automatically lead the user to a specified page inside the pdf viewer screen?

Employees at an animal hospital user the Document Viewer app to look at Word (docx), Excel (xlsx) and PowerPoint files (pptx). When the employee selects a file from a list it opens to show the full document on the right-side of the app.

Copy and paste this long code block into the Image property of the Image. The EndsWith function checks the file extension at the end of the filename. Then it uses the SVG code from this free Power Apps Icon Set to draw the icon.

We will use the PDF viewer to display a Word, Excel or PowerPoint document instead. To do this we must convert the docx, xlsx or pptx file to a pdf. This task can be accomplished in Power Apps with only one-line of code.

2. My colleague Vivek Bavishi came up with a very neat solution you should look into. He managed to link a Dataverse to a SharePoint document library and serve files from there. It was done to avoid the 2GB database limit in Dataverse for Teams. However, you could apply it to achieve your goals of viewing documents in Power Apps as well.

Thanks for your response and the link. I could attempt to take what Vivek demoed little further. My fear is, that such workaround is not sustainable for a serious app with multiple personas. I only hope and wish PA team comes up with Office viewer control.

You probably have an empty (no content) Excel file. Try to edit the file and write anything in it, then use the PDF viewer.

This raises another question for Mat, how can we avoid it. How can we check if a file has no content?

Hi Matheu, thanks for wyour example, this is fantastic. I tryed to put it on action, but i couldnt with xlsx files, can you please help me to understand what am i doing wrong or if there is anything i need to do to achive that. (i can see the ppt files in the PDF viewer)

As you start playing around with the view designer, feel free to reach out to me on the forums to share your thoughts. As mentioned before, since the new view designer is still in preview, there are still a few features missing, like drag-and-drop support from the field drawer and the ability to edit column headers, but rest assured, these features will be coming soon. If you do need functionality from the classic view designer, simply press the open in classic button in the command bar.

Below represents a PowerApps Forum link where I have tried the PDF stuffs and previously PowerApps PDF Viewer was not working for me. So I got the solution from here and I wanted to share the simple process that you can try:

Not out of the box, but there is a community component to do so using Power Apps Component Framework (PCF): -reader-control/

You can learn more about PCF here: -us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/overview

This Sandbox is a customized enterprise-tier account that operates separately from the main production environment. It's the perfect place for administrators to test setting configurations, API calls, library templates, and upcoming features before they go live.

This action is designed to accept a file from the trigger, or previous action, to produce a unique document ID. The subsequent actions can use the generated ID for processing the file into an agreement or template.

I started on my Power Platform journey over a decade ago, and like many people just learning as I go, bumbling around and often figuring things out with luck or a lucky Google. I know there are many people who have started their journey in similar ways, or have come from Canvas Apps or other places and are just dipping their toe in the model-driven app world. This post will provide some tips and tricks that hopefully will have at least one item that is new to you. There are still different ways to configure (classic and within the maker portal) but this post assumes using the experience found in If you have any tips of your own, please share in the comments below!

If you have a series of Lookup fields, you can filter them based on their relationship to one another. For example, on an Opportunity, selecting an Account, then picking a Contact from a filtered list based on the one selected.

When adding the field to a form, it shows as a drop down list to be selected from. However, if the Choice field has two or three values, a different control can be used to display the values as blocks, making it much easier to see the one selected.

However, if you go in to make.powerapps.com you can easily add a colour for each item you have in your Choices column. The ability to set colours has been there for some time, and it was used in certain areas (Customer Service mainly and useful in Power BI reports) but not really of much use to most people. Make sure you set the colours as fairly light as the text needs to still show up in the grid.

Attachment Viewer consolidates the attachments from notes, tracked emails as well as portal comments in to one single place. This is shown in a nice tabular view where you could easily sort and filter!

If the power app user gets to know the SharePoint site url which is connected as a data source in the Power App, the user would be able to access all the lists from the site by going to the Site contents page or by directly going to the list view url. This might create an issue because the user might edit, create or delete an item from the SharePoint interface rather from the Power Apps interface. As an app owner, you would like to avoid this. There is a way to avoid this by creating a custom permission level for the app users in SharePoint. Please find the steps below

The group is ready, add the power app users to this group. This access will not allow the members of this group to access the Site contents (Application Page), view forms or views (Allitems.aspx) but they would be able to create/update from Power Apps. Technically the user would still be able to access/modify the list content programmatically using CSOM/JSOM etc, but the GUI in SharePoint is blocked. They will receive an access denied message while trying to access the list view/form or site contents page.

Hi , I have a same requirement as the here explains how to restrict user in sharepoint , but allow the users through powerapps. I just tried the above steps to to get work on it. Unfortunately, I can not able to achieve as it says. Of course I created a custom permission level and that assigned to a newly created group, also a user is added into the group. But this does not work. Currently, powersapp functions works similar to how sharepoint works now. user can read/edit from powerapps and sharepoint . It should not be like that, I have to restrict in Sharepoint.

Other features include a 90% increase in update speeds, thumbnail generation and complete support for all bookmarks and links within PDFs. Link Accounts, View Subscription status, receive updates , and 1 click access to Service info and 1View online all from the app.

Customer Conference lets you see what all conferences Textron Aviation has open. View what classes available, view floor maps, other documents, register and unregister for classes, rate the class, and view speaker documents from the app.

6. Play the app and click Scan business card and upload a business card from your computer. We are uploading a business card from the computer for testing on the browser however once the app is published, you can use your phone camera to take a picture of the business card instead of uploading a card from your computer.

Today, we are excited to announce the public preview of Multiple Audiences in the Power BI Apps, one of the highly requested features from the community. With multiple audiences for an App, now Power BI App author can create multiple audience groups within the same App and assign different permissions to each group.

In this app, we will work with a SharePoint document library that will contain documents of PowerPoint, Pdf, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel types. when you select a file from the left gallery, it will display the full document as PDF on the right side of the app.

In order to display various document types such as Excel, Word, or PowerPoint in the Power Apps canvas app, we will utilize the Power Apps PDF viewer. Therefore, we need to replace the thumbnail with the appropriate PDF format to enable viewing of these document types in the PDF viewer.

Regardless of the method chosen for the Image Property, you have now to add the PDF viewer section to properly display the document content in the PDF viewer section by doing the following:

In order to utilize the Power Apps PDF viewer to view other document types such as XLSX, DOCX, or PPTX, it is necessary to convert these files to PDF format before they can be displayed correctly in the PDF viewer.

This conversion ensures compatibility and proper rendering of the document content within the PDF viewer control. Once the conversion to PDF is completed, the resulting PDF files can be used as the document source for the PDF viewer in Power Apps.

The final step to view documents in PDF viewer in Power Apps from a SharePoint document library in a simple way, you have to use the bellow formula that check on the file extension and do the following:

After working for more than 15 years in Microsoft technologies like SharePoint, Office 365, and Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI), I thought will share my SharePoint expertise knowledge with the world. Our audiences are from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, etc. For my expertise knowledge and SharePoint tutorials, Microsoft has been awarded a Microsoft SharePoint MVP (9 times). I have also worked in companies like HP, TCS, KPIT, etc.

The experimental feature for connecting Power Apps Canvas apps with Git version control is pretty amazing. You can read this blog post from my FF colleague Timo Pertilä to see how it looks like for app makers: Power Apps and Git version control.
