    In a canvas app, add a button and set its OnSelect property to:

    Print()

    This opens the current screen in the default browser print dialog, where it can be printed or saved as a PDF.

    Key behavior:

    • Only the current screen is printed.
    • If the button is on Screen2, selecting it prints only Screen2.

    To keep the print button itself from appearing on the printed page, set the button’s Visible property to:

    Not Screen1.Printing

    For a cleaner print layout, use a print screen template:

    1. Open or create the canvas app.
    2. Select New Screen.
    3. Choose Portrait print.
    4. Add the PO content to that screen.

    This gives a screen sized for printing and more control over the printed result.

    I want to make sure I understand that are you using the app as an end-user looking for a built-in print button, or are you the app developer building this screen?

    If you are just using the portal right now, click into the PO record, press Ctrl + P in your browser, and set the destination to "Save as PDF" or your physical printer (adjusting the scale to "Fit to page" so nothing cuts off).

    If you are designing the app, standard practice is to add an icon or button with the Print() formula on its OnSelect property, which triggers the native browser print dialogue for that screen. For generating clean, formal multi-page PO documents rather than raw screen captures, pair the button with a Power Automate flow that populates a Word template and exports a clean PDF.
