Converting HTML to PDF Issue

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by LukeB

I have created a Flow that takes input from a PowerApp, converts it to a HTML file in OneDrive and then converts it to a PDF file and saves it as an attachment in a SharePoint list. All steps work ok.

The issue I am having is that if I have code after inserting a table in the HTML, if there is any code after the table, the table and everthing after does not appear. If there is nothing after the table it displays correctly.

I have taken out the variables and put in static code to ensure that the issue is not to do with the code that is getting passed through to it from PowerApps.

Wondering if this is a bug?

For example the following code works:

<body>

<h1>Heading</h1>

<table>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

This fails to display the table and everything below the table:

<body>

<h1>Heading</h1>

<table>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

<h2>Heading 2</h2>

</body>

Hi ,
Can you share the details of your Flow configuration?Perhaps your code breaks the level of the original Html tag. Make some of the content that should be displayed covered.

I have removed all steps so that there is only a trigger and a "One Drive - Create File" step. It is configured as:

The code I have is:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Document</title> </head> <body> <span> <h1>Report</h1> <p> Test Report </p> <table width=100%> <tr> <td> <strong>Title 1</strong> </td> <td> Some Text </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <strong>Title 2</strong> </td> <td> Some more text </td> </tr> </table> <h1>Another Heading</h1> </span> </body> </html>
With the line in red, when you open the file in One Drive you get:
When you take the line out you get:
The files display as expected when you download from One Drive and open in a browser. If you convert to PDF however the PDF looks like how the file displays when opened in One Drive, not the browser.

To meet my requirements I need to have multiple tables, headings and paragraphs. I can get away with sending as an email from PowerApps (which works fine) and not convert to PDF if this does not work but...

Did you ever get a workaround for this?
