Converting Excel and PowerPoint to PDF

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 1,302

Hi

 

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!
