## Description

Internal implementation skill invoked by /add-native for app-generated PDF report workflows using expo-print and, when present, expo-sharing.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

**Shared instructions: [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md)** - read first.

**Working directory:** before any project read or command, execute
[native-artifact-compatibility.md Step 0](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/references/native-artifact-compatibility.md#0-bind-every-operation-to-the-app-root).
Inherit `/add-native`'s resolved absolute `working_dir`; bind every shell call and
file tool to it, even when this helper starts from another directory.

# Add PDF Report

**Internal helper.** Users should invoke `/add-native pdf-report`, `/add-native generate-pdf`, or `/add-native pdf-export`; `/add-native` routes here after resolving the capability.

Generate or verify a local PDF report wrapper for app-owned PDFs created from records, evidence, certificates, receipts, or summaries. This helper uses `expo-print` to create a local PDF file URI. It may use `expo-sharing` only when that package is already present. It never installs packages or imports the native PDF viewer directly.

## Capability boundaries

| User need | Correct path |
|---|---|
| Generate/export/print a report from app data | This helper: `expo-print` -> local PDF URI |
| Share the generated local PDF from the device | Add share method only if `expo-sharing` is already in `package.json` |
| Retain the generated PDF in Dataverse | Create/update parent row first, then upload to a Dataverse File column with generated services |
| Open an existing HTTPS or local file PDF in the Power Apps native viewer | `/add-native pdf-viewer`, only if `@microsoft/power-apps-native-pdf-viewer` 0.2.9+ is already present |
| Pick/import/upload a user-selected PDF | `/add-native document-picker` or host `<FilePicker>` for Dataverse File columns |

Local generated PDFs are usually `file://` URIs and can be passed to `openHttpsPdf(...)` with `@microsoft/power-apps-native-pdf-viewer` 0.2.9+.
