Converting Excel Doc to .PDF using Power Automate removes new checkboxes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

 

I am trying to convert an online excel document saved within a SharePoint library to .pdf.

In this excel document I am utilising the new checkbox capability introduced a few months back.

 

The problem I am facing is after the document has been converted (using the one drive convert file connector) the check boxes have reverted back to their boolean values?

 

By saving the file as .pdf manually the checkboxes remain, it is only when using the power automate flow.

Does anybody have any advice on how to solve this issue?

 

Thanks.

    Hi 
     
    Another approach to use the desktop flow which exports the excel file to a pdf format- i have observed that can preserve the checkboxes.
     
    Thanks & Regards,
