PDF Form Recognition

All,

I have a flow set up to do Azure form recognition on PDF content. Currently it works by taking a PDF from a SharePoint folder and running that through the form recognizer via HTTP.

I want to set the flow up with Ask in PowerApps. When I attach a file to a form in PowerApps I want to use the DataCardValue.OnAddFile to fire the file content to Flow and then return a JSON table to PowerApps. I'm struggling to get the PDF file content over to Flow (I can do it fine with images).

Does anyone know of any way to fire this off in the OnAddFile event? I am fine with workarounds such as temporarily adding the file to a SharePoint folder as long as it can be done during OnAddFile and be seamless for the user.

Thanks

    Figured this one out. Added an image control, set the image to Last(DataCardValue.Attachments).Value and then used JSON(ImageControl.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData) to get the file to Flow
