OneDrive For Business Connector - Convert To PDF

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 795

So Ive been using the onedrive for business connector for some time to take a HTML file and convert it to PDF.

 

Today i have noticed that images are no longer being inserted correctly.

The images are in base64 format within the html file (logos/header/footer) and display fine.

I have validated the html and all is fine, however the convert function is now just inserting emtpy boxes with red crosses.

Please look into this and rectify as this is a business process that now creates erronous documents.

    I've the same issue

     

    I've been following several tutorials on implementing this trying to understand what I'm doing wrong.

    The HTML file renders correctly and displays the image but the PDF will render text and only show a red X for images

     

    Glad I'm not losing the plot!

    Hi @Delid4ve,

     

    Could you share more details on your flow creation?

    Please share more details to help reproduce this issue on my side.

    Besides, hope the following blog could be your reference:

    Best regards,

    Mabel

    @v-yamao-msft the easiest way to test and show you is the following:

    Create a html file in ODFB with the following content:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <head>
     <title>Test HTML</title>
     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
     </head>
    <body>
