Hi guys.
I've spent the last few hours working on a flow which takes data from Powerapps as an HTML table, and turns it into an HTML File, converting this file to PDF.
I have the flow executing, I can open the HTML File, however the converted PDF version of the HTML file does not open.
I have taken the HTML file created through flow, and uploaded it to an HTML to PDF converter to ensure that my HTML is valid. The file created is exactly what I'm looking for.
Any ideas what this could be?
Very Strange issue.
Here are some pictures you may find helpful.
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @Anonymous
Edit: In the ss i showed the item id selected in the Get File action. It should simply be ID. Please make the change.
Yes. In the attachments part, instead of the path you need to have the attachment content (file content from the sharepoint connector).
Hope this Helps!

I'll give this a go and get back to you.
I've just seen the get attachments step. Which is new to me!
Thanks a million!
It looks like from your code that you are not appending .pdf to the file name. I've seen this issue in the past. Acrobat has an issue trying to open files in SharePoint if they don't have the appropriate file extension. Make sure you add .pdf to the filename and try again. The same steps you are using work for me if I add the extension and fail if I don't.
I appended .pdf to the filename shortly after I made this post as I realised the rookie mistake. (Whoops!)
It's working now. Have the PDF stored in Sharepoint, and it is viewable and downloadable as required! 🙂
I have one last hurdle however.
I've added a send email step to the flow, the flow is executing and the email is sending with the required attachment. However the email is corrupted.
I think I'm doing something wrong with the email step.

Can you explanin a bit more what you mean when you say the email is corrupted? I would have thought the attachment was a problem because I think you need to supply the same kind of content for the FileContents in the attachment section that you do when you do a create file. I don't think you can pass it just the path to the file in SharePoint. Have you considered using the SharePoint Create Sharing Link action instead and just include that link in the body of the email instead of attaching the actual document?
I'll give this a go and get back to you.

In response to the Outlook action error that you posted:
This looks like a connection error for the Outlook connector. Can you please delete your current connection to outlook and add a new one? You can add a new connection by clicking the ... on the send an email action and see the connections and add one over there or select your connection appropriately. I have made an update to my previous reply regarding referencing the attachment so please have a look at that too.
Hope this Helps!
@Anonymous @Pstork1
I was trying to hit the reply button and accidentally hit the mark as solution button. I do not see a way to reverse that. My apologies for the same.
Please mark the post taht answered your query as a solution.
Thanks!
I'm kind of confused here.
I understand what I'm trying to achieve with the get file content step.
But it's not allowing me to just select the folder which holds the PDF.
I dont' want to select a send specific PDF from the folder, I want to send the PDF that was just created as a part of this flow. If that makes sense?
@Anonymous
In the Get file content step, you do not have to select the folder. If you place the cursor over there, you can choose the ID from the dynamic selector, as shown in the Screenshot below:
Hope this Helps!
I think I've applied the steps as required.
I am however still failing to run the flow. But it's now the email step that is failing as follows.
@Anonymous
Yes! This is an issue with your outlook connection. I have made a suggestion for this on one of the previous responses. Please have a look.
Thanks again for all the assistance.
I've deleted the connection but it's still giving me the same error message.
Hey @Anonymous
Is this flow a shared one? (I mean do you have any co owners for this flow?).
This might also be a caching issue. Can you please save the flow and log out of the current session and close the browser; start a fresh session and run the flow to check if you continue to face the same issue?
Hope this Helps!
This is not a shared flow, I am the sole owner.
I have logged out of flow, and restarted my computer also to ensure that the cache is fully cleared.
I am still having the same issue however.
No change unfortunately .
@Anonymous
Can you please do these:
1. Click on Data (in the left nav bar on the Flow page)
2. Click on connections
3. Find the Office 365 Outlook and the Outlook.com connections and delete them.
4. In your flow, delete the Send email action and add a new Action -> Send an email Office 365 Outllook. -> Sign in and authenticate here to provide a connection.
5. Run the flow and check if you continue to face the issue.
Hope this Helps!
I have followed your steps above. Ensured that the outlook connections were deleted.
Deleted the email step, added it again signing in when prompted.
Still having the same issue. No change in the error whatsoever.
I wonder if sharepoint is confusing things?
When I had the flow executing successfully I was sending the file from OneDrive. The PDF was corrupted though!
Really unsure what the issue is here. Ahhh!
Hi @Anonymous
Um no! I have multiple flows based on that pattern. The other actions on the flow are working fine it is just the connection here is what causing a blocker (I might be wrong). You can test out a theory though, remove all the attachments part from the email action and check if you are able to send an email with a simple body and subject.
I wouldn't of thought so! Well, it's good to know that everything else is okay.
I just had a wee test and removed the attachments, and found that issue still persists.
I wonder if it would be worth starting again.
Copy all of my expressions and make a fresh flow.
