Convert Word to PDF with premium Word Online connector after Create File

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DLLFPP 46

Hi Community, I am using the premium Word Online (Business) connector to populate a word template from a sharepoint list, then I need the word file to be converted to PDF.

I am struggling to understand how to fill the input field of the convert action. It seems that despite all ID, ItemID, Links, Paths or anything else that I put in there is failing.

What is the correct way to let it take the just created file from the above action and convert it to pdf?

Here's the flow:

Thanks!

    Looks like it takes a file path. Use a Get file properties action first which gives you the full file path to use in the Word connector

    Unfortunately it doesn't solve.

    I am currently copying the created file in sharepoint to my onedrive and then use the convert to pdf action of onedrive, then saving the pdf over to sharepoint again.
