Power Automate Flow sending blank PDF Exports

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by DRing

I'm a Power BI developer but was recently asked to create a Power Automate Flow that would email a PDF of a Power BI report to certain users.

My flow runs successfully, however the PDF file in the email is blank. I've added a delay (found suggestion online), but still the same result.

Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

Hello @Nived_Nambiar,

I am facing the same issue as OP - I have tried reading the answer you suggested but I don't think my body report is too wide for the page size (especially since I did not select any page size) because I can export to PDF from PowerBi directly without problem.

If I select a single page to extract in Power Automate, the flow runs but the PDF is blank. Same thing if I just do the whole report. If I try to switch to PPTX format, the flow runs but the file is damaged and cannot be open.

Edit: I have solved it by turning off the "New Designer" button on the top right corner and noticed my email attachment wasn't "file content" but "body" -> I replaced this and it works fine now!

Thanks in advance for the help.

Best,
Célia
