If anyone can help me with this power automate issue, I am having it would be highly appreciated. 
 
I have been developing a power app for the past few months, my department is using it but there is only one issue where they want to create pdf archived records in a private shared folder. The work out I currently have is using the print function on a separate page where an edit form displays the data. They then have to select the paper style and save as a pdf using the print function. The issue is doing it this way can be time consuming; the look of the document may look odd since it does not capture the whole screen, and they have to repeat this process depending on how much data a record has. I have created a power automate workflow to do this by selecting a button on an edit form page it would take the data from edit form transfer it to a Microsoft Word Template > PDF > Create File in shared drive > Sent email for user to review new file. The flow tests are succeeding but I keep receiving errors when I try to incorporate it into the app. I'm new to power automate any advice or suggestions is highly appreciated.
 
I really am trying to solve this issue asap since it's taken months to get the premium licensing to use all features.

    The basic concept is to convert text from a dataverse table to a microsoft word document and convert it to a pdf. Ideally, I can have this save in a specific secured destination or if there a way to complete the saves manually that would work as well. Any help or advice is appreciated! Thank you again!
