Autofill PDF

Hi all,

 

I am working on a flow that will take MS forms responses, autofill a PDF form, then send the completed pdf form from a shared email to the appropriate user.  

I have the flow working. However, when the email is received, the attachment is not saving as a pdf file type and asks me if I want to open or save the file. If I select the appropriate program, the file opens as a pdf and displays all the correct information.

 

How can I prevent this from happening so the attachment is pdf file type and automatically opens without asking to open or save?  Screenshots below:

Any assistance would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

Ryan

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    You just need to include .pdf in the file name.  Your file won't have the extension as all you have included is the filename.

    Cheers,
