Hi, 

 

I am receiving the following error when attempting to convert a file from word to PDF:

(Dynamics 365 word document in the notes section is being used to create a file in OneDrive and then convert file/convert file using path is both failing)

I have two other flows that have no issues with different word templates, so don't understand this issue.

 

Here is the flow edit:

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

Barry

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Are you trying to save Note attachments to OneDrive for Business folder then convert them to PDF?

     

    Please check the following flow configuration which is working properly.

     

    Trigger the flow with When a record is created.

     

    Add action Create file, select File Name and input the following code in the File content field:

    base64ToBinary(triggerBody()?['documentbody'])

     

    Then convert file using path and create a new PDF file.

     

    Image for your reference.
