Flow: Create a PDF from HTML and landscape that particular data.

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hey guys,

I am having an issue with trying to landscape the data in my PDF. I created a flow that takes data from my list, converts the data into an HTML table of this data, and then converts the HTML into a PDF. The data that I display in the PDF tends to out stretch the PDF and cuts off the header and the table itself, so I wanted to see if it is possible to make the PDF display as landscape instead of horizontal when it is created. I thought maybe I could update my "Compose" section of the flow with this

replace(body('Create_HTML_table'),'<table>','<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1">')

I was hoping that the table would resize itself so that it could fit all of the data on the PDF, but I think landscaping the PDF, might be more beneficial. I am open to any and all suggestions.

Unless something has changed in the last month I'm pretty sure it can't be done, unfortunately

Thank you!! Turns out that Encodian has a free subscription. If you use it less than 50 times a month than it is free. The landscape feature worked perfectly. Thanks Again!!

If you have a little knowledge of PHP, I recommend you to use DOMPDF library.

No, Encodian or any third party is not allowed within our office premises. I'm pretty much focused in OneDrive convert html to pdf only and standard license for that matter. This code is autogenerated when you try to save any word document as html and This code I need to put on top of the template of my html document

the top of the word doc converted to html looks like this:

And somewhere along that line of code you will see this.

Once you are done with the adjustments of size and margins., put this (marked as TemplateHeader) first on the top of your html code, along with your css codes just like this:

I did not bother to understand the entire line on the converted html from word. Just did a lot of test to get it done
