Can't open PDF Files

Posted on by shaypher

I have a flow that takes an attachment from an outlook email and it's supposed to save to a local network folder. The file saves and the flow works as intended, but the pdf will not be opened in any program I try. When I performed the testing for the flow I was able to open the pdf files, but all of a sudden I cannot. Can someone help me figure this out please ?

I actually got it fixed a few minutes ago. I changed the content type for the file to "Content Bytes" and now I can open the files without issues. Thank you for the response !

Re: Can't open PDF Files

I remember a while back there was an issue when writing files would add binary data that would then mess up the readers. Can you do a binary compare of the attachment and the saved file?
