Creating a PDF file from Dataverse data with Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LouiseAspman 93

I've a Canvas App with various bits of information coming from the Dataverse.

 

I'd like to create a PDF file, based on whatever fields a user selects in a Canvas App.


My idea is to create a collection, then send the collection to Power Automate to create the PDF.


What actions (if any) can I use to create the PDF? - I'm ok with sending a collection to the Flow, I just don't know what to do to create the PDF.

 

Thanks
Louise

    Hi @LouiseAspman 

    You can create a Word document based on Dataverse fields, and after that, convert it to PDF. Have a look at this excellent blog post on how to do that: Power Automate: Create Word Document With A Repeating Section (matthewdevaney.com)

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks, is there a way I can do this without having to save to OneDrive or any other location?

    Yes, although in that case you need Premium license and use any of the 3rd party services (Adobe, Encodian, etc.).

    Hope that helps!
