PDF file protected (corrupted?) when uploaded (copied) to SharePoint from Flow for selected item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Experience 2

I used the trigger "For a selected item" to start a flow from a SharePoint list and I used the Filecontent option to upload a PDF file.

Flow Trigger

I started the flow from the SharePoint list:

Start flow from list

 

Then I created a file in SharePoint with the filecontent from the uploaded PDF file

Create file

But when I open the PDF file from SharePoint I get a message that the PDF file is protected en I can't open the file in Edge or with Adobe reader.....

PDF file protected

Hope someone can help me to prevent that the PDF file gets protected.....?

 

Thanks in advance.

Andy
