I can use Flow (OOTB ) to convert from Word 2016 documents to PDF.

Can I use OOTB- (no third parties please) Flow to convert from Excel 2016 to PDF (I currently get errors saying the Word Format is not correct) and PowerPoint 2016 -to PDF ?

I thought if you used One Drive For Business, then you could.

Thanks

Nigel

Hi @NigelP,

Could you share how you converted Word 2016 document to a pdf file?
I did a test on my side, using Convert file action provided by the Flow-OneDrive for Business connector, and then saving them using the Create file.

Hi @v-bacao-msft,
How can we convert in pdf files, without writing file names in the flow?
Would be nice if the trigger could be by uploading a file in folder named Convert, for example, and flow converts the file automatically in pdf.
Thanks!
