Hey everyone,

I built an canvas app, which has an edit form to create records in an dataverse table. After submitting the form I retrieve the ID of this new record by means of the LastSubmit() and feed this into a flow, which creates a pdf file and uploads it to the same dataverse table record (costum column with datatype file). Until this point everything seems to work. However, now I'm struggeling open the pdf file in the browser or to show it in pdf viewer in my canvas app. I asked google for about 2 hours now without any success...

Any thoughts? The snippet shows how the pdf files appear in the dataverse table.

Thanks!

Hi @dpoggemann ,

thanks for the quick response. Yes, I followed a similar approach to your link to upload the file. But it seems that there is already a mistake on my site, because its not creating a correct pdf file...

Hi @winj945 ,
Did you follow an approach similar to the following to upload your file? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/dataverse/upload-download-file

Did you update your default form for the table in Dataverse to add this field and see if you are able to click the file from that form to Open it? Is it showing the PDF file in the File field?

Sorry for all the questions...

Thanks,

Drew
