I have created a flow which populates a word document template, saves the changes as a separate word doc, which is then converts it into a pdf and then saves it within OneDrive. Until this this point in the flow no errors have occurred.

I then wanted to send a email via Outlook with the PDF attached.

My issue is that the attached PDF in the email will not open as I get the error message: "This file cannot be be previewed because it is corrupted", now I struggle to understand why it is saying it is corrupted as I am able to open the PDF just fine from within the OneDrive folder.

Can you attach a screenshot of the flow, specifically the email part. Sometimes this happens when you don't have the file extension added to the name in the filename area of the add attachments.

I was able to get it to work eventually, I was previously using the wrong dynamic content.

Hey, ive got the same issue now but don't unterstand really how to change the dynamic content so that it is correct.

I try to build up the same flow, but with one difference I don't try to safe any documents. I just want to convert a word into pdf and sent it out via an excel where all the mail Adresse are.

Any possibility that you know how to get this corrupted file correct?

Many Thanks, Nate
