Posted on by NotAlex

I am trying to create a flow that recieves a PDF (file name and content) via HTTP Request.

So i have setup a test in flow 1 to call the HTTP request and send through the pdf content, but the PDF saved in flow 2 is blank.

Flow 1: [Works]

gets Email Attachment
Saves as PDF in SharePoint Library (correctly)
Sends PDF content via HTTP to Flow 2

Flow 2: [Doesnt Work]

Recieves Request
Saves PDF to SharePoint Library
PDF is blank/Corrupt

Flow 2.PNG

Thanks!

Hi @NotAlex

Can you try wrapping the 'document' in the binary() fucntion using the expression editor in the Create a file action and run the flow.

Hope this Helps!

@yashag2255 you are a gentleman and a scholar, thank you!

Just a note that it is actually "Base64ToBinary([contentBytes])".

Cheers

@AlexBunning1

Perfect! Usually in some connectors it takes Binary and sometimes it is Base64 to Binary.
