Convert word to PDF (premium connector) - Can't open the PDF file

Like (0) ShareShare

Posted on 3 Apr 2024 16:16:32 by 39

I have a flow using the premium Word to PDF connector.  I've managed to get it to produce a PDF file but it won't open.  

I've tested the Word file by doing  a manual conversion of the word doc to PDF and it works great so I'm certain it's not an issue with the populated document.

Is the connector working properly? 

Image shows the error when opening the PDF file produced.

 

Thanks in advance!

    I have new issue @creativeopinion @ScottShearer I'm hoping you can help with.

    I've broken down my flow into separate parts because I need  more than one trigger. For some reason my convert word to PDF step keeps failing. I'm unsure why as it worked previously.  Any ideas?

    You are quite right, I wasn't using the dynamic content - thank you so much.

     

    Will definitely follow your tutorials

    @ChamC1 You might have the wrong dynamic content selected for the Create File 2 action.

    Can you confirm you've selected the PDF document dynamic content from the Convert Word Document to PDF action?

     

    Hope this helps!

    @ChamC1 Can you share a screenshot of your flow currently? If you are using the new designer, please switch to the Classic Designer—in edit mode, expand all actions and take a screenshot of your flow.
