Issue convert file OneDrive for business

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

This particular task is a part of a larger workflow. In this specific step, I retrieve a value and use it to populate a Word template. The resulting file is successfully saved to OneDrive in steps 1 and 2.

However, the issue arises when attempting to convert the Word document to a PDF. The conversion process fails to incorporate the dynamic data from the Word template. Instead, it only displays the names of the columns used in the template. It is worth noting that this same method works correctly in other parts of the overall flow.

To investigate the problem further, I conducted a test by creating a simplified version of the process, utilizing a Word template with just one column. Unfortunately, even in this simplified scenario, the resulting PDF only shows the name of that single column instead of the expected dynamic data.

This issue seems to be specific to the conversion process from Word to PDF and how it handles dynamic data. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    Hi Rich, what is the dynamic data - is it just text or do you also have other content controls like images etc? Just to double check you are creating the new PDF file after the conversion?

    Plain text control on page and a plain text column from the Dataverse table.

    If you're using the same column on a page several times. You need to give each placeholder a different name. Such a dumb mistake.
