Flow HTML to PDF Conversion not wrapping text

Posted on by Eclectic211

Hello,

I have a flow that is taking a sharepoint list item, converting it to html, then to PDF to email. Most everything works fine but the long text fields don't wrap in the PDF.

I'd seen a thread about issues with rich text fields so I converted one to a string and put it in the question field, with the same result.

If I open the HTML file they're wrapped.

**** Edit I noticed the / on the TD tags missing fixed that and I'm closer to working

the PDF comes out like this

.richText{
height:100%;
word-wrap:break-word;
}

<tr class="richText">
<td><b>Question: </b></td>
<td class="richText" colspan=4> @{variables('QuestionText')}<td>
</tr>
<tr class="richText">
<td><b>Suggested Solution: </b></td>
<td class="richText" colspan=4> @{outputs('Get_RFI')?['body/Suggested_x0020_Solution']} <td>
</tr>

<tr class="richText">
<td><b>RFI Response: </b></td>
<td class="richText" colspan=4>@{outputs('Get_RFI')?['body/RFI_x0020_Reponse']}

Try adding word-break="break-all" after Col Span = 4

It turned out there was a field higher in the form that wasn't wrapping so that left side was doing wacky stuff. Once I fixed that the issue was resolved.

I found a solution to this problem which actually gives food for other solutions.

1. I Get my items from SharePoint List

2. I use select to create a Columns

3. I create a Html Table from the select

4. I add a compose with expression

replace(body('Create_HTML_table_6'), '<table>', '<table border="1" padding="5">') This puts a border around teh cells in the table

5. I add another compose that reference the first compose with the expression

replace(outputs('Compose_12'), '<td>', '<td style= "text-align:left; padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em; white-space: wrap">') This left aligns my cells and word wraps if to long

6. I do a create file in one drive using file contents of the second compose

7 I convert the file to PDF

This effectively created a table in a PDF that word wraps.
