Creating PDF from HTML

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by nj128534 14

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a workaround for converting a PNG to a PDF. My steps are as follows (with Power Automate step names in parenthesis) :

  1. Getting the PNG thumbnail (Get file Thumbnail)
  2. Compose HTML code (Compose)
  3. Create HTML File from thumbnail URL (Create File)
  4. Convert HTML to PDF (Convert File)
  5. Create PDF File from converted HTML (Create File)

The issue that I am running into is that my PDF shows up like this:

I am confused about what is happening, since my HTML file is created correctly and contains all of the information that I need. 

 

Note that all steps are based on OneDrive for Business except for the Compose HTML Step.

 

Thank you in advance!

    Hi @nj128534,

    Do you want to convert the file thumbnail from PNG to PDF?

     

    I did some test according to your requirements.
    Convert HTML to PDF only supports pictures in Base64 format.
    You can convert the png to Base64 using base64() fuction.


    Following is my flow.
