I have created a flow where all the pdfs in a Folder are renamed by specific informations from the pdf. It work fine but in a few files i get the german information "Ordner ist nicht vorhanden". The file is not in the cloud but downloaded. The flow reads the informtions from the pdf correctly. So these files are not renamed. I hope I have explained it right. Any help?

Could you share a screenshot of your flow? Do you download a file or the full folder? Are the files large which you are downloading?
One thing to check is that when you download the file/folder has it finished the download fully. Make sure you have "Wait for file" -action before executing the "Rename files" -action so the files have fully downloaded before trying to interact with them.

If you do have "Wait for file" maybe try adding an extra hard coded 5 seconds "Wait" action.

Hi,

Check if the folder exists before renaming --- In Power Automate Desktop, add “If folder exists” before the Rename files action. If it does not exist, use “Create folder” to create it.
Verify the full destination path variable ---- Add a Display message or Write to log file step to see the full path you are generating. Make sure the path is correct and not duplicated or incomplete.
Remove invalid characters from the file name --- Use Replace text to remove characters like \ / : * ? " < > | from the extracted PDF text before renaming.
Trim extracted text --- Use Trim text and remove line breaks from the value you are using in the new file name.
Use “Move file” instead of Rename if changing folder -- If you are renaming and moving to another folder at the same time, use Move file(s) with a new name. This avoids path errors in some cases.

Note: If takes long time to get it downloaded use "Wait for file"
