Good morning, when I execute a simple circuit to open a pdf file from power automate, it doesn't open it and it gives me the following message, has anyone experienced it?

 

"cmd session is not alive"

    Hi @RichardCampos 

    I know this happens after you use the "Close CMD session"-action

     

    Are you opening the pdf-files via a command line interface?
    If so, you may have to wait until the previous step is done before closing the CMD-session.

    You could try using the "wait for process"-action

     

    If this doesn't help, could you please provide a screenshot of the actions you are using with a concise description of what you are trying to accomplish?
