Not Able to Retrieve PDF Files Versions from Library

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Guess who's back...😎

 

Here is a screenshot of the Library. The both files meet the naming convention of the condition below that collects the images. However, the pdf file does not display in the Gallery Image control when file name appear; yet, the jpg file image does appear.

Here is a screenshot of the Gallery Image control condition. I've tried Thumbnail; tried Thumbnail{Thumbnail}; tried Link to item. None of them is displaying the pdf file (that can clearly be seen in the library) to the Gallery Image control. Thoughts?

Here is the Flow.

Side note: do I need to add a 'Respond to Power Apps' at the end of this, or is it fine without.

    What happens if you upload a pdf to the library, can you see the thumbnail?

    I think the problem could be in the configuration of the column in the Library.

    In my lab I managed to see the thumbnail of a pdf by configuring the column as text and not as an image.
    The problem could be in the column and not in the flow.
