I am trying this connector using sharepoint library . It is a simple .docx file with 2 lines of text. I get this error.

The rest of the flow which reads the file and sends email notification works fine, throws an error at this Action.

BadRequest.

Hi @MS4
Try this as it has worked for me.
If you need to change the trigger, by all means do. A simple press of a button has worked for testing purposes.

Hope this helps!

Hey

No it did not - i basically had it configured the same as mentioned.

This errors with the same error as the OP.

In my scenario FILE would be set as Identifier in the production flow - which is sourced from the trigger i.e. document created.

Hi @Gristy ... hhhmmmm.
Can you post your whole Flow please in an image as I have?
Please see below:
As you will see, I just creted this and I have an accurate PDF that opens with same data as PDF.
Maybe you could quickly recreate from scratch as a test?

Sure thing here you go:

I am not dumping it out anywhere yet as it doesnt get past that step.

Error:

Hi @Gristy
You haven't posted an image of your Flow and I can see you have just one connection, that indicates you are only using "Convert Word Document to PDF Connector" after triggering with a button.
You will notice that connector doesn't offer to save the file anywhere hence why I have used in addition, "Create File" to either SharePoint or OneDrive maybe and this done the trick for me. No Output with it, granted I got no error at that stage though.

If you recreate like mine exactly it will work I am sure. Can you try it?

Here is also a helpful video recently posted by a SuperUser on the Word connectors as they are new.

I have done so - same error unfrotuantely.

Good that is working on your tenant, hopefully they fix it for other tenants soon.

I do not think this is a problem with how our flows are configured but rather something bugged in the flow platform here.

Hi @Gristy
Thanks for doing that, you may have found a bug and if you think you have please post here.
One last question though ...
Your last image shows this

Are you clicking test to run this or are you clicking the button on your phone in the flow app?
Thanks, Alan
