Convert HTML to PDF has stopped working

Posted on by mazamike

I have a flow triggered by a button in PowerApps to generate a PDF. It has suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason. I built the flow using this video as a guide Create a PDF from SharePoint Data using Power Apps and Power Automate flow for free (youtube.com) and has worked flawlessly for the last year+. I can see in OneDrive for Business that my HTML text file is generating, but the PDF has no content, so I am not sure at what point of the process it is breaking.

My outputs look empty and are shown here:

Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution?

Thanks!

I have noticed that Microsoft recently changed their PDF converter back to PDF Sharp. They had recently changed it to Chromium. These two APIs support very different features. In the context of converting HTML, Chromium was much better at supporting modern styling with CSS. PDF Sharp looks awful and has very strange (or maybe very old?) implementations of CSS.

I don't know why, but my flow is working again. Maybe there was a service interruption or issue at our enterprise level that I was not informed of, but it seems like all is right with the world. Thanks to @adamp1 and @AlexEncodian for your suggestions.
