Fairly new to PA, but hoping that someone has an answer for this.
I created a flow that populates a sales estimate in an Excel (online) sheet.  Then it is converts to a PDF file (OneDrive convert file).
There is a 2nd file that needs to be sent with it (depending on the selected product being quoted) , their IDs are in a small table I look up.
 
To do the following.
  1. initialize a variable (AttachmentArray),
  2. I then do a OneDrive (Get File Contents),
  3. Then append it to the array. 
  4. Next I do a Get File Contents of the PDF I created (from OneDrive)
  5. Append that to the Array
  6. Lastly, I send the email using the Array.
I can a send the document via email without problems.  Either via the Array or directly.
But when I try and send 2 documents, one is always blank.
But it also seems to be the newly created PDF file that was created in the PA flow.  The static brochure documents come through ok

    Thanks for the response Naved
    @ Naved
    Here is the full workflow with the details of the convert to PDF.  Note the image is pretty wide.

    Hi,
     
    I could not see any convert file action used to convert file to pdf within your flow - could you share exact screenshot of your flow.
     
     
    That would help !
     
    Thanks & Regards,
