Convert PDF action support Japanese.

[yus]

I can make PDF from HTML by Flow. However if HTML contains Japanese Flow is failed with below message when convert files.

That will be occurred when we make the flow below steps.

I expect this issue is resolved

 I strongly need it. I want to use "Convert file action (in OneDrive for Business connector)" to convert to PDF contained japanese characters.

Hi @yus, @Hirofumi_Ota, @mokhawaja

Could you attach some example HTML? I think I may have a solution but wanted to test first.

Hi @mokhawaja,

I've just tested within the Encodian 'HTML to PDF' action and that works absolutely fine.

You can download the converted file from here: https://encodianprod.blob.core.windows.net/fileexchange/Encodian-HtmlToPDF.pdf

There is a free subscription plan available so hopefully they'll be no cost depending on your volumes. 

Hope this helps

Hello @SPOGeek,

Please refer my html in below. I know Encodian would work as you said. I'm afraid that due to the limitation of the request, there is a threshold for department of companies to use in the free plan.

Hi @yus

Apologies, I'm not sure I fully understand the constraint? Could you explain in more detail?

Example file ref HTML provided: https://encodianprod.blob.core.windows.net/fileexchange/Encodian-HtmlToPDF-2.pdf

Hope this helps

Hello @SPOGeek,

It is just simple.
We can use Flow with Office 365 subscription. Single byte character region users can use convert to PDF perfectly, double byte character region users have restriction.

If use only one person we will agree with the workaround, however double byte character organizations cannot avoid to pay cost for temporary solution at the moment.

In technically and operationally, your solution is right and help individual user. When This problem will be fix makes many department will happy.

Hi @yus

I think you're simply stating that you shouldn't have to use a third party solution as the core Microsoft converter should cover your requirement? 

I'm not going to disagree, but there will always be gaps in functionality which are plugged by third party vendors, overtime Microsoft may supercede with native capability.

Hope you have a few options now to progress

[yus]

Hi @SPOGeek,

Yes, you are right.

CIer has trouble depend on Japanese company has many complex in company's custom.

They are seeking solutions that can be used with peace of mind for several years from 1st vendor.
