Posted on by PowerAppsUser2

Hi,

I am using word template stored in OneDrive and populating the word template with dynamics data.

But I am not able to convert this to PDF either by using convert file or Convert word to pdf actions.

The output generated consists of logical names from the template(not the dynamic data)

Hi @PowerAppsUser2

Can you please post a screenshot of the flow that you have build so far? It will help us better identify the issue and assist you with this.

Can you confirm that when the flow is running, the Word template that you are defining is getting populated with the data?

Hope this Helps!

Hi @PowerAppsUser2

Please take a look at the screenshot below:

Note that you do not have to create the PDF file twice. You can replicate the smilar flow in your flow by removing the extra action and get rid of the .pdf from the create file 2 action (the convert to pdf will have the dnamic output for the filename along with the extension)

Hope this Helps!

Hey @PowerAppsUser2

Can yo share details on:

1. Create the converted PDF Action: In the fileName, which dynamic data are you selecting? If you are selecting from the convert PDF action, then you do not need to add the other text over there '123.pdf' as the filename will already be the 'Fornavn_today1.pdf' if it is from the previous action.

2. what document are you converting in the 'Coevrt word document to pdf action'?

This is what I was referring to earlier that if it is the same file that is created on the word template then these two actions are simply duplicating and the file name convention is inappropraite as it will have the .pdf.123.pdf(in the point 1)

Hope this Helps!
