Converting docx to pdf

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Trying to create a flow that is triggered when a docx file is created in the path "/Documents/power_automate/email_test/docx" on OneDrive. I want to take that docx file, convert it to a pdf, and move it to the "/Documents/power_automate/email_test/pdf" path on OneDrive, then delete the original docx file. Below is a screenshot of the flow I've created. The flow runs all the way up until the "Create File 2" action. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

I'm not getting any kind of error. The flow ran successfully, but the folder where the PDF is supposed to have been created is empty. See screenshots below. So no errors, but the file isn't converting or, if it is, it isn't being saved to the correct location.

The Convert file simply converts the file in memory. The Create File 2 action is what then saves the new PDF to OneDrive. I would double check that the file contents for that are actually the ones coming from the convert file 2 action. Also double check that you are deleting the correct file when you are done.
