Re: Error 406 NotAcceptable on Convert File Action

paul_culmsee · ‎02-23-2018

I am building a HTML file in Flow, saving it to OneDrive, and then converting it to PDF. There is something in some of the files I geneerate that is making the Convert File action fail.

I get:

{
  "status": 406,
  "message": "htm",
  "source": "api.connectorp.svc.ms"
}

This is a super-simple action, I can't see anything untoward in the HTML file as it renders fine I've run it through validation checks

Update... even if I enter something like <h1>hi there</h1> I still get the error. Is there a fault with this action?

Same problem here, does not support convert EML, MSG to PDF anymore... this is bad news. Only convert standard document type like .docx, .xlsx...

I just open a case to microsoft, will see.

I'm also facing the same issue.

Unable to convert from html to pdf. It appears that it is OK if I use a docx .

Any help would be much appreciated.

I opened a case to microsoft, they told me they have a problem with a backend media service. This is the last update I got this morning. I will keep you posted as soon I got news.

Hi @paul_culmsee,

Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

The error message told that you could not convert a html file into a PDF file. I have made a test on my side and the issue is confirmed on my side. Converting a HTML file into a PDF file is not supported in "Convert file" action of OneDrive connector. If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/idb-p/FlowIdeas

If you want to convert a HTML file into a PDF file, please take a try with the following workaround:

Add a proper trigger, here I use Flow Button trigger.
Add a Conpose action, Inputs field set to following formula:

<html>
          <table>
                     <tr>
                             <td>Name</td>
                             <td>Kris Dai</td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                          <td>Email Address</td>
                          <td>Test1@xxxxxx.onxxxxxxxxx.com</td>
                    </tr>
          </table>
</html>

Add a "Create file" action, specify Folder Path, File Name field set to Profile.html, File Content field set to output of "Compose" action.
Add a "Get file content" action, File field set to Id dynamic content of "Create file" action.
Add a "Convert document" action of Muhimbi PDF connector, Source file name field set to DisplayName dynamic content of "Create file" action, Source file content field set to File content dynamic content of "Get file content" action, Output format field set to PDF.
Add a "Create file 2" action, specify Folder Path, File Name set to Profile.pdf, File Content field set to Processed file content dynamic content of "Convert document" action.

Image reference:

The flow works successfully as below:

The created HTML file within OneDrive opens well as below:

The converted PDF file within OneDrive opens well as below:
