Using onedrive PDF converter does not make my document a PDF?

Posted on by 75

Hello, 

 

I have a flow, where im using the OneDrive convert to PDF, but somehow now it does not make the document a PDF. Nor does it make a file, so in my sharepoint it just makes an empty file, that i cannot edit in. 

 

Have anyone experienced this before?

Here you can see the Error message.

It is in Danish but says that the file cannot be previewed and when I download it, it gives the following error message:

Here it says "Cannot open file something went wrong"

Best Regards, 

Emilie

    Dear E,

    I tried your construction and this seems to work on my side.

    I believe your problem lies in the fact that you try to convert a file which was only recently created in the same flow. In my experience OneDrive/Sharepoint needs some time to 'settle' when it comes to new files.

    Suggest you build in a delay before the 'Convert' action, lets say 3 minutes and try that.

     

    Happy flowing,

    Koen
