PDF returning blank

Posted on by todurant

Geetings, I have my flow in powerapps where it is using the htmltext control to create a pdf. The flow creates the html file and stores it no problem but when I convert the file the pdf is showing as blank. I checked the html file and everything is there just not in the pdf. I am using a gov client so I dont know if that makes a difference. I tried it with SharePoint create file and OneDrive create file, same result.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @todurant

Can you try adding the .pdf extension after the filename in the create file action. That should do the trick.

Also, you could use the Convert file action and provide the ID of the newly created file (if the pdf is being created but there is nothing in it)

Hope this Helps!

Hi @todurant ,

Please try adding a Delay action under Create file action.

I have made the following test and the converted PDF file has the same content with the html file.

Best regards,

Mabel

I found that it was the colspan in my html that was breaking the pdf conversion. Once I removed that things worked fine. Thanks for your suggestion.
