Hi,

I have made a quiz.

When a name is written in a field and the quiz is submitted, a new merged file (with their names n etc) is created into SharePoint.

I have gotten this far.

Now I want to do is I want to make a button ( for example this PDF icon), when pressed, to download that specific new file that was created by the user onto their device.

Is there a way of doing this? I am in need of help 😞

Can anyone help me?

So, you need to create it and send it to somewhere on the cloud, tehn return the link and then download.
At least, I think that is the only way

Okay. So, the user creates a item in a SP List. You create a PDF through Power Automate in One Drive, then, you download it.
There is many videos about that in the internet

Doesn't seem like my organization has authorized/given permission for the use of OneDrive yet.

Is there a way to do this without OneDrive?
