Hi everyone,
The intended user for this dashboard will need to input text as a status or information that pertains to each export (to pdf) of the dashboard. The text doesn't necessarily need to show up for anyone else who uses the dashboard, it just needs to show up in the export. To attempt this, I created a simple power app which is just a text box. The text box works as a visual, and I can input text - but when I export to PDF the text does not export as intended and the text is lost.
Is there a better way to do this? Thank you!
Hi @Anonymous ,
Please refer to:

Hi @v-yadongf-msft ,
I might not have been clear enough - I need the user to be able to input text to a published report. I need the text that user inputs to show up when they export the report to pdf from the web.
