Hello,

In my flow, I am taking various outputs from a PowerApp and creating a HTML document that is then converted to a PDF file using the Encodian HTML to PDF action.

Is there any native functionality I could utilise so I don't need to use 3rd party premium connections?

This is what is included in the HTML Data field:

concat('<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<table style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<td>
', triggerBody()['text'], '
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>
<img src="', outputs('Compose_-_Photo_to_base64'), '" />
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>
', triggerBody()['text_3'], '
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>
', outputs('Compose'), '
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>
', triggerBody()['text_4'], '
</td>
</tr>

</table>



</body>
</html>')

Hi,
Yes, it is possible to convert HTML text data to PDF without any third-party or premium connector. First, you need to create an HTML file and convert the file using the connector "Convert file preview" for reference.

Yes, it is possible like @Matthy79 through Onedrive, it is tedious but it is possible at least with a small logo like my following example
HTML

@AlexEncodian: I think the question was about „3rd party premium connections“.

@sudosaurus: Was it the answer you are looking for? Have you tried „Convert file“ (OneDrive for Business). I think you can use html files and it is not even premium.

Hello @sudosaurus

You could use “Populate a word template” for your scenario. You would have to create a word file where you define the variables and than use the flow to fill them.
