A flow was created so that documents can be uploaded to sharepoint through powerapps, the flow works correctly, 
but the problem is that the preview cannot be visualized after uploading, neither in sharepoint nor in the pdf viewer
of the application. help with this topi

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Do you want to preview generated PDF in powerapps?

    I'm afraid there's no directly way to preview this before you update it.

    For now, you could only view PDF after it has been updated to sharepoint list by flow.

    Here are two docs about how to build this kind of flow:

    https://masteroffice365.com/viewing-pdfs-from-sharepoint-within-powerapps/

     

    Secondly, do you mean that you can not view generated PDF in sharepoint list?

    Could you show me your error message in English?

    I have my pdf viewer in power apps.

    when I upload a pdf file or image with my flow in power apps, if it reaches sharepoint but I upload a corrupt file, it is wrong.

    This is the error that appears when uploading to sharepoint using power apps. There is no preview and when downloading the files are damaged.
