Posted on by 508

Hi all, trying to first poulate a word template and then save the word file in sharepoint, then I want to convert that word file into PDF so I can email it out.  I am getting an error and I am stuck.  If someone has a moment, can they assess where I am wrong.  

Thanks you kindly!

    This usually happens when you forget to enter the file extension name.

    What is the file type that is being created in the OneDrive?

    Check if the file being create is of the type .docx

     

    Try removing the Filename with extension and just type something like temp.docx

    Here is the flow in its entirety:

    This is the error at Convert File Step: 

    "Conversion of this file to PDF is not supported. (InputFormatNotSupported / Bad request)",
     
    I just dont understand why the file name is "hospitalist"

    hospitalist is the title of the SharePoint list title name.name

    Here is the details of the flows:

    This is the file in One Drive for business, its not the file but the name of the Title column in SharePoint:

    For some reason it is not grabbing the file name but the name of the Title of the SharePoint list.  Its taking me hours to figure this out..Please someone have mercy on me LOL 🙂

    Hi @VeeLearnMSFT ,

     

    It should be caused by the dynamic content you selected is not applicable.

    Based on your description, i have made a simple test for your reference.

    1. Here is my SharePoint list.
