Power Automate Action Failing - Convert Temp HTML to PDF - Convert File

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
I have a flow that uses the "Convert Temp HTML to PDF - Convert File" action within power automate. I'm using this flow to serve a client. The action has randomly started to fail despite not changing the flow. When will this be patched? Is there a work around? (I noticed there's a way to convert files with adobe but my organization doesn't have the required subscription tier).

    This could be due to file size.

    Hi,
     
    Step 1: Create Your HTML File
    Save your HTML content as a .docx file (recommended), or .html.
    If you use .html, make sure it's well-formed and includes inline CSS for better rendering.
    Save the file locally or upload it manually to your OneDrive.
    Step 2: Set Up Your Power Automate Flow
    Go to Power Automate.
    Click Create > Automated Flow or Instant Cloud Flow (for testing).
    Add a trigger, such as:
    Manually trigger a flow (for testing), or
    When a file is created in OneDrive.
    Step 3: Get the File from OneDrive
    Add a OneDrive for Business action:
    Get file content
    Choose your file from OneDrive or dynamically use the trigger output.
    Step 4: Convert the File to PDF
    Add a OneDrive action:
    Convert file
    File: Select output from the Get file content step.
    Target Type: PDF
    Step 5: Save the Converted PDF (Optional)
    Add a OneDrive action:
    Create file
    Folder Path: Select where to store the PDF
    File Name: e.g. ConvertedDocument.pdf
    File Content: Output from the Convert file step.

    Note: The file must be under 2MB.
